The Act deals with enforcement procedures for the payment of the national minimum wage by employers in order that all qualifying workers receive their entitlement. In response to a 2002 ruling by the Employment Tribunal Appeal, the Act amends the National Minimum Wage Act 1998 so as to ensure that enforcement officers have the power to issue enforcement notices to recover underpayments relating to past pay periods in cases where workers have already left the employment in question, (as well as a worker's current and future pay periods).
