MP PETE WISHART, CALLS FOR ACTION ON MINIMUM WAGE COMPLIANCE.

Commenting on the publication today (Monday) of the Commons Scottish Affairs Select Committee Report on enforcement of the minimum wage in Scotland, SNP committee member, Pete Wishart MP, echoed calls for the UK Government to do more to enforce compliance, including the naming and shaming of employers who break the law.

Mr Wishart said:

“The continued levels of non-compliance are unacceptable and the UK Government must step up action, including the naming and shaming of rogue employers who refuse to pay staff properly for the work that they do.

“It is low paid workers who are the victims where employers break the law on this, and it is important that the UK government cracks down on it.”
