The Low Pay Commission (LPC) is an independent statutory non departmental
public body set up under the National Minimum Wage Act 1998 to advise
the Government about the National Minimum Wage. Our permanent status
was confirmed by Government in 2001 and we were given a Terms of Reference
for a programme of longer-term research. To enable us to advise and
make our recommendations to Government, we undertake the following
activities:
- Extensive research and consultation;
- Commission research projects;
- Analyse relevant data and actively encourage the Office of National
Statistics to establish better estimates of the incidence of low
pay;
- Carry out surveys of firms in low-paying sectors;
- Consultation with employers, workers and their representatives;
- Take written and oral evidence from a wide range of organisations;
and
- Fact-finding visits throughout the UK to meet employers, employees
and representative organisations.
