EMPLOYER FLOUTING NMW RULES IS NAMED
29 August 2012
Norman Lamb, Minister for Employment Relations, has named an employer under the BIS Scheme for naming employers who flout National Minimum Wage (NMW) law.
Leicester based hair and beauty salon owner, Mrs Rita Patel trading as Treena Professional Hair & Beauty, neglected to pay £3,361.22 in arrears of the NMW to a former worker following an investigation by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), which has resulted in HMRC enforcing the debt through the court. HMRC’s investigation showed that over a period of four-and-a-half months, Mrs Rita Patel paid only £342.00 to a worker in her hair and beauty salon. Under the NMW Act the worker was in fact legally entitled to £3,703.22 for work undertaken during that period.
