Councillor Roberts, Cabinet member for Strategic Planning and Regeneration, submitted a report of the Director of Environment and Development seeking the Cabinet’s support to urge the Inland Revenue to run a high profile, pro-active campaign to enforce the National Minimum Wage in Leicester.
Members supported the proposed campaign to petition the Inland Revenue as the agency with responsibility for enforcing the minimum wage.
RESOLVED:
(1) that the launch of a high-profile petition campaign, urging the Inland Revenue to run a pro-active campaign to enforce the minimum wage, including conducting a number of spot check visit to employers, targeted at areas in Leicester, be supported;
(2) that all members be urged to give their individual and public support to this campaign;
(3) that the Authority’s effectiveness in referring suspected cases of non compliance with the minimum wage be increased, by supporting an awareness raising exercise targeted to appropriate personnel across the Authority, so that, where appropriate, enforcement of the minimum wage can be linked with other enforcement and other actions undertaken by the Authority.
