As part of the national agreement Towards 2016 a commitment has been made to review and increase penalties for non-compliance in all areas of employment law, including the national minimum wage legislation. Work has already begun on the preparation of the Employment Rights Compliance Bill, which will reflect this and other commitments in Towards 2016. In the context of redress, it is proposed to provide for up to two years pay in the adjudicative and appeal processes.
