❗ It's official - HMRC's National Minimum Wage (NMW) Geographic Compliance Approach is coming to the Home Counties ❗
If your business operates in
Surrey
Kent
Essex
Hertfordshire
Buckinghamshire
Berkshire or
Sussex.
Then this one's for you. Paying above NMW does not automatically make you compliant. Many errors occur to those higher earners with salary sacrifice or those who work more than their contracted hours.

Here's how the NMW geographic campaign typically unfolds,
- HMRC writes to employers, flagging NMW risk areas
- Workers are contacted directly and invited to raise concerns
- A limited window is given to identify and correct issues plus repaying those affected over the previous 6 year period.
- Penalties and public naming are avoided in the self review is completed throughly and effectively.

The Home Counties are next to face the scrutiny of NMW and we expect the approach to keep spreading across the UK, this campaign has been hugely successful for NMW enforcement teams over the past 2 years.

The best time to find an NMW issue is before HMRC finds it for you.
So here's the question worth sitting with:
How confident are you that your organisation would pass an NMW compliance review today, remember this includes ALL of your employees, those paid by the hour and those who are salaried too.

‼️Case Study #1‼️
Let me tell you about a great employer who values their workforce, they provide free lunches, free car parking, a mountain of fresh fruit every day, private healthcare, early shift allowances, extra leave for your birthday … and a £1million problem nobody had noticed.

A contact centre where the perks are real and there’s always a pile of CVs from people applying to join.

So where’s the million-pound problem?

The phones go live at 8am sharpe, so the team need to start logging into the various systems at 7:55. And at 5pm? You can’t hang up on a customer mid-sentence, so you finish the call, then shut everything down. 5:05. 5:07.

Ten minutes a day unpaid and unnoticed. Sounds like nothing, doesn’t it?

But they’re paid the minimum wage. Stack ten minutes across 100 staff, over HMRC’s six-year look-back, add a 200% penalty on top … and you’re at £994,106.

Here’s the bit that catches employers out, prep time is working time. And all those lovely perks , not one of them counts toward the minimum wage pay.

That’s how a genuinely good place to work ends up explaining itself to HMRC. Not greed, just a clock that quietly starts five minutes early, for years.

So it’s worth asking, when does your team actually start working? Because it might not be when the rota says.

I’ll be sharing lots more ‘Case Studies’ over the next couple of weeks… follow along.

Business travel counts as working time and must be included in the employers calculations. Even if your travel is delayed all the time must be included. It’s often a reason why people are underpaid.

10/05/2026

Employers are required to count all the time someone works NOT just the contracted hours or shift time. Lots of people are being underpaid and HMRC are investigations businesses demanding that they repay any underpayments for the past 6 years.

25/04/2026

There’s been a huge increase in workers reporting their employers to HMRC, for underpaying them. HMRC respond to every single complaint received. . Common reasons why people could be underpaid include working through lunch, working more than your contracted hours or doing compulsory training at home.
