Of the 183 care sector employers found not to have complied with the National Minimum Wage regulations;

  • 74 met the minimum criteria of the naming scheme and have been named so far. This number will change as cases are considered as part of future naming rounds.

  • 34 employers had arrears less than £100 and are therefore not eligible for naming.

  • 2 employers met the exceptional criteria and have not been named.

    Of the remaining cases, 69 will not be considered for naming as (a) the arrears in the cases were identified solely via self-correction or (b) the case was opened by HMRC before the revised scheme came into effect on 1 October 2013.

    The remaining cases will be considered in future rounds.
