HMRC Policy change in enforcement of NMW obligations on transfer

| 0 comments

In its recent Agent Update on page 4 HMRC have announced:

Changes in how National Minimum Wage (NMW) penalties apply to employers who have staff transferred under Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (TUPE) rules
HMRC has changed its approach to charging penalties when enforcing NMW where there has been a transfer of staff from one employer to another under TUPE Regulations 2006 provisions.
Since 2 July 2018, where TUPE applies, all NMW liabilities, including the full penalty amount are applied to the new employer.
HMRC previously charged the former employers all, or part of the penalties where they were triggered by arrears that accrued before workers were transferred under TUPE provisions. Further information on TUPE can be found on the Acas website.

More on enforcement of the national minimum wage including penalties can be found on the GOV.UK website.
