Employment Law: National Minimum Wage

The Employment Act 2008 will make changes to the way in which payment of the National Minimum Wage is enforced.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) officers will be given wider powers of investigation and restrictions are removed on the exchange of information between HMRC and the Employment Standards Inspectorate.

There will be a new penalty for employers who underpay their workers and a new method of calculating arrears that takes into account the length of time they have been outstanding.
