Universal Jobmatch And Unscrupulous Employers

EDM number 1051 in 2013-14, proposed by John Hemming on 05/02/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Companies, Employment, Pay and Service industries.

That this House notes that at times unscrupulous employers who fail to pay wages or pay people cash-in-hand will have jobs advertised on the Government website Universal Jobmatch; recognises that if employers are subject to valid complaints, their advertisements will be withdrawn; further recognises, however, that this does not prevent the same employer advertising again; further notes that jobcentres have refused to be concerned about payments made cash-in-hand; believes that jobcentres should be concerned to ensure that proper tax payments are made by employers; and further believes that an employer that has been demonstrated to be unscrupulous should be prevented from adding new advertisements to Universal Jobmatch until any outstanding issues of concern are resolved.

This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
