The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) consultation on National Minimum Wage and possible changes to the NMW rules in relation to salaried workers and salary sacrifice schemes, ended on 1 March 2019. It asked for input from employers on areas where they felt NMW rules "unfairly penalise them without generating any benefit or protection for workers"
We are still awaiting the outcome of the consultation but in the meantime it was confirmed, in the House of Commons last week, that the scheme for the naming of employers found to be in breach of the UK's national minimum wage (NMW) has been suspended while the Government reviews the scheme. It seems that the Government may be considering options to limit appearances on the list to those employers who deliberately break the rules, rather than those who are substantially compliant but may breach them accidentally.
