Even if employers believe they are paying workers at or above the National Living or National Minimum Wage, there may still be instances of underpayment. This can occur due to various factors such as wage deductions, tip allocation, workwear or tool costs deductions, or failure to compensate for all hours worked.
Stay informed, compliant, and supportive of your workforce by staying abreast of these changes and ensuring fair compensation for all employees.
