HMRC fine more employers than ever

HMRC taking more and more action against employers not paying minimum wage.

Employers who pay workers less than the minimum wage have to pay back arrears of wages to the worker at current minimum wage rates and face financial penalties of up to 200% of arrears, capped at £20,000 per worker.

Just out this week

Salon owners should be aware that this also includes those who are classed as “self employed” when they clearly aren’t. If they are working on your salon with your rules, your timings, treatments and customers and you are paying them a percentage of treatments, chances are, they’re not self employed. If they choose to, they can force you to pay them for all the hours worked at minimum wage minus what you have paid them for their percentage.

I’m sure @salonfrog can explain better but they’re cracking down on self employed therapists who are actually staff x

Thanks for this post, I have been enabled to report my ex employer for paying me under the minimum wage when I was an apprentice many years ago.
