Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 10 March 2017 to Question 66151, on pay, what assessment his Department has made of the merits of providing assistance to workers who are unable to determine whether they have been paid the national minimum wage or national living wage as a result of their pay slips lacking in transparency.

The Low Pay Commission recommended that the Government consider the case for requiring employers to provide more information on hours worked in workers’ payslips. The Government is currently engaging with stakeholders to better understand this proposal, and will consider the recommendation in the light of this.
