It was interesting listening to a news report on R4 yesterday, interviewing representatives of employers who rely on cheap foreign labour, saying that under the new immigration policy they'll no longer be able to afford to employ people as the cost of wages will increase, resulting in their businesses folding.
Why?
If they're paying minimum wage anyway, and they shouldn't be paying less, why is the cost of employing people going to increase?
Or do they mean that they'll now have to operate above board & start deducting Tax/NI and pay it over to the Govt.
