The government has published draft Regulations, which will increase the maximum financial penalty for employers who flout the national minimum wage from £5,000 to £20,000. This change is expected to come into force in February 2014. In addition, the government also wants to introduce legislation as soon as possible so that the maximum £20,000 penalty can apply in respect of each underpaid worker.
