NDNA calls on Government to drop wage 'naming and shaming'

Policy & Politics
The National Day Nurseries Association is asking the Government to stop ‘naming and shaming’ nurseries that have unintentionally underpaid staff.

The NDNA says that some nurseries included on the Government’s ‘naming and shaming’ lists for not meeting the national minimum wage are victims of genuine error.

This follows the revision of the National Minimum Wage Naming Scheme in 2013 to automatically consider naming all employers that are issued with a Notice of Underpayment in order to deter employers that are tempted to break the law.
