Following on from the government naming and shaming 200 companies that failed to pay the minimum wage, Peninsula HR’s director, Alan Price, explains why it is important for bosses to implement the minimum wage in their businesses.
By 2020, 3.8m Brits will be on the legal minimum wage rate – and the government has relied largely on HMRC to levy fines of up to £20,000 per worker on companies that don’t pay staff fairly. It also started “naming and shaming” offenders in the hope of deterring others from doing the same.
