Frontier Workers: Work Permits
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to ensure that people with a Frontier Worker Permit are (a) on UK employment contracts and (b) paid above the National Minimum Wage.
- Answer
-
The Frontier Worker Permit scheme implements our commitment under the Citizens’ Rights Agreements to protect the rights of EU, other EEA and Swiss citizens who were frontier working in the UK before the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020 for as long as they continue to be frontier workers.
The Agreements provide that frontier workers must not be discriminated against on grounds of nationality as regards employment, remuneration and other conditions of work and employment. Free and confidential advice on the National Minimum Wage is available by contacting Acas on 0300 123 1100. Any worker who believes they are not receiving what they are entitled to can also complain directly to His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs via their online complaints form on GOV.UK, which can be found by searching “complain about pay and work rights”.
