Compliance and enforcement of the National Minimum Wage in 2024

The Low Pay Commission has produced a report analysing the state of compliance and enforcement of the National Minimum Wage (NMW) in the UK for 2024.

The report indicates around 371,000 workers may have been underpaid in April 2024. Most underpayment now affects salaried rather than hourly-paid workers, and issues like deductions and unpaid working time are leading causes.

The report suggests some systemic changes in enforcement to reduce underpayment and protect low-paid workers more effectively. You can read the report at: Compliance and enforcement of the National Minimum Wage in 2024 - GOV.UK.
