Raising awareness of the NMW is fundamental to ensuring that workers get what they are legally entitled to be paid. HMRC know that employers often make genuine mistakes in calculating the NMW rates and are tackling the employer side separately. HMRC are looking to try to raise awareness among minority groups of workers who may not know they are being paid below the NMW or even what to do about it if they are.
HMRC are currently working on a national campaign to raise awareness of the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage as the rates for both increase on 1 April 2017. The HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy campaign will be running in March.
