Notice Title

UK SBS Call for Research on Non-compliance with the National Minimum Wage Framework

Notice Description

Our understanding of non-compliance with the National Minimum Wage is somewhat underdeveloped. HMRC have introduced some new approaches to tackling non-compliance including the introduction of naming and shaming of employers found to be under-paying the NMW. We would welcome new initiatives in this area that would help us to better understand the extent and causes of non-compliance. This may include surveying workers or employers, an analysis of compliance for different sub-groups in the labour market, and/or an evaluation of the effectiveness of the different approaches used to reduce non-compliance.
