Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will take steps to improve the advice for care workers on gov.uk to help them check employers' compliance with minimum wage obligations.
The Government is committed to helping workers understand their employment rights, and their entitlement to the National Minimum Wage. This year we supplemented the gov.uk website with a ‘Check Your Pay’ campaign for workers: available at checkyourpay.campaign.gov.uk. The Government has also legislated to require employers to provide clearer information to workers in their regular payslips. Workers can also call the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) Helpline (on 0300 123 1100) for information and guidance about the National Minimum Wage or visit their website (www.acas.org.uk).
