Students and seasonal staff are being<br />
reminded by HM Revenue and<br />
Customs (HMRC) to check that<br />
they are being paid the National<br />
Minimum Wage (NMW).<br />
All workers are legally entitled to be<br />
paid the NMW. This includes temporary<br />
seasonal staff, who often work short-term<br />
contracts in bars, hotels, shops and<br />
warehouses over the summer.<br />
Last year (2020-21) HMRC helped<br />
155,000 workers across the UK to<br />
recover more than £16 million in pay<br />
which was due to them. HMRC is<br />
reminding workers to check their hourly<br />
rate of pay, and to also check any<br />
deductions or unpaid working time.<br />
One person who has benefitted from<br />
HMRC’s enforcement of the NMW is<br />
Amber, a marketing apprentice. She was<br />
concerned that she was not being paid<br />
correctly, so contacted HMRC online.<br />
HMRC looked into Amber’s concerns<br />
and spoke with her employer. Amber was<br />
being underpaid and she received £1,900<br />
in back pay.<br />

God’s Promises<br />

* Before they call I<br />

Steve Timewell, Director Individuals<br />
and Small Business Compliance, HMRC,<br />
said: “We want to ensure that seasonal<br />
workers and students are being paid what<br />
they are entitled to and, as the economy<br />
reopens, help employers if they are<br />
unsure of the rules.<br />
“Workers should check their hourly<br />
rate and look out for any deductions or<br />
unpaid working time which would reduce<br />
their pay. It could take them below the<br />
minimum wage.<br />
“HMRC investigates every complaint<br />
made about the minimum wage, so<br />
whether you are selling sun cream, giving<br />
a hotel room a clean, or serving a<br />
strawberry smoothie, if you think you are<br />
being short-changed you should get in<br />
touch.”<br />
Anyone not being paid what they are<br />
entitled to can complain online at . If they<br />
want to speak with someone they should<br />
