Agriculture: Seasonal Workers

Asked by Chris LawScottish National PartyTreasuryTabled Answered 8 April 2025UIN 42552

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 19 March 2025 to Question 37200 on Agriculture: Seasonal Workers, whether HMRC has made an assessment of the potential impact of productivity related pay on (a) hourly wage calculations and (b) payslips for seasonal agricultural workers.

Answered by James Murray

When HMRC undertake compliance activity, evidence is gathered to determine the hourly rates of pay. We do not hold specific data on seasonal workers from our compliance activity.

HMRC continues to crack down on employers who ignore the law, ensuring workers receive the wages to which they are entitled.
