Margaret Beels was appointed Director of Labour Market Enforcement in November 2021 and produced this interim Labour Market Enforcement Strategy for 2022 to 2023 in March 2022. The 2022-2023 Strategy covers 4 main themes:
- Improving the Radar Picture
- Improving Focus on Effectiveness
- Better Joined-Up Thinking
- Better Engagement and Support with businesses and workers to improve state-led enforcement of employment rights
It includes measures to be taken by the 3 labour market enforcement bodies:
- Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA)
- Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate (EAS)
- HMRC National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage team (HMRC NMW)
The interim Strategy makes no new recommendations. Instead, it builds on the recommendations from the 2 previous LME Strategies (for 2020-2021 and 2021-2022) and sets out the approach for the Director’s 2023-2024 Strategy to be submitted to government by the end of March 2023.
