Low Pay: Sharing Economy
(asked on 11th July 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate he has made of the number of workers being paid less than the national minimum wage in the gig economy.
This question was answered on 18th July 2017
There are no official estimates of workers paid below minimum wage rates in the ‘gig economy’.
The Government is committed to cracking down on employers who break the National Minimum Wage law. That is why we have increased HMRC’s 2017/18 enforcement budget to £25.3m.
