Equestrians included in latest NMW Naming List
7th July 2025
Three employers from the equestrian community have been included in the latest government list of UK employers who previously underpaid staff the National Minimum Wage (NMW), following historic investigations by HMRC.
The employers involved have acknowledged and rectified the issues, which in some cases were genuine administrative oversights - including complexities around livery perks and age-related wage changes.
Read the story on the British Grooms Association website here: Equestrian Employers named in latest NMW naming list
This serves as a reminder of how easily NMW errors can happen in our industry, and why it's essential for employers to understand the rules clearly.
Fair pay matters. Not just because it’s the law, but because Good Employment benefits everyone.
Don't get caught out. Find out more about the NMW and your legal obligations as an employer on the EEA Guide to the National Minimum Wage.
