HMRC (HM Revenue and Customs) has more than doubled the number of underpaid workers getting the money they’re owed under the National Minimum Wage, according to latest figures.
In 2017 to 2018, investigators identified £15.6 million in pay owed to over 200,000 of the UK’s lowest paid workers, this was up from £10.9 million for more than 98,000 workers the previous year.
The launch of HMRC’s online complaints service in January 2017 has contributed to the 132% increase in the number of complaints received over the last year and the amount of money HMRC has been able to recoup for those wrongly underpaid.
