I heard it just could be a small fine if any, they are just looking for persistent offenders and dodgy employees.



Tougher enforcement
In January new measures came into force to back the minimum wage with tougher enforcement. These include:

a typical penalty for underpaying a single worker is now more than £200
employers who fail to pay the minimum wage can face prosecution, risking a criminal record and a £5,000 fine
the Government has already targeted hairdressing and childcare sectors for enforcement. The next sector will be hotels, followed by hospitality.
Since 1999 the Government has helped tens of thousands of workers recover £22.6 million in unpaid wages.
