영국 전국최저임금제의 집행체제와 전개 = Enforcement Regime of National Minimum Wage and Its Development in the UK

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Minimum wage in UK which had been applied to the low wage industries until it was abolished in 1993, was reintroduced as a single-rate national minimum wage applicable to all industries by National Minimum Wage Act 1998 under the Blair Labour government. Newly reintroduced minimum wage system was systematically organised and has been appraised as a successful achievement. This study investigates the main features and characteristics of the enforcement regime of the current national minimum wage system focusing on compliance securing policy. As a result of analysis, it is shown that the enforcement measures at most had remained at the ``enforcement notice`` level when the cases of underpayment were identified through the National Minimum Wage Compliance Officers`` investigations under the old enforcement regime before the revision of minimum wage system in 2009. Legal enactment of Employment Act 2008 was carried out in order to deal with the problems mainly inherent to the old enforcement regime of National minimum wage; the unfair calculation method of arrears of underpayment, incomplete legal sanctions(civil and criminal), and inadequate security of complainants`` anonymity.
