HMRC is cracking down on small and medium-sized businesses in certain regions of the UK for potential non-compliance with the NMW regulations.Companies found guilty will have to reimburse workers for arrears and can be publicly “named and shamed”. Earlier this year, over 500 businesses were listed on the HMRC website, and some of these were major high street brands!
