  Exploited foreign workers in the UK are being charged up to £20,000 for costs vaguely labelled as "administration" or "lawyers' fees"

The UK government has announced a crackdown on employers who underpay migrant workers, introducing new penalties to ensure compliance with minimum wage laws. This initiative aims to protect migrant workers from exploitation and ensure they receive fair wages. The move comes in response to findings that some employers were taking advantage of migrants' vulnerabilities, such as their unfamiliarity with local labor laws or their reluctance to complain due to fears over their immigration status. The penalties for non-compliance are intended to be stringent, serving as a deterrent against wage theft and promoting a fair labor market. This crackdown is part of broader efforts to uphold workers' rights and maintain the integrity of the UK's immigration and employment systems.
