Employers who deliberately flout minimum wage laws will be named publicly, under a new scheme announced by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.
Employment Relations Minister Edward Davey said: ‘Bad publicity can be a powerful weapon in the fight against employers who try to cheat their workers and their competitors. Their reputation can be badly damaged if they are seen to be flouting the law.’
The National Minimum Wage Regulations 1999 (Amendment) Regulations, SI 2010/1901, increased the hourly rates with effect from 1 October.
