Enforcing the National Minimum Wage


Effective enforcement of the National Minimum Wage (NMW) is essential so that all workers with an entitlement receive it. 


The TUC has produced a useful guide aimed at advisers and union representatives helping low-paid workers secure their rights on the NMW. The guide examines who is covered, how to calculate the NMW, and how NMW rights can be enforced.


Many of those who are not receiving the NMW will not be in a trade union, so unions have an opportunity to recruit new members while helping workers to secure their rights, the TUC says.
