Daler-Rowney Ltd v The Commissioner of Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs UKEAT/0273/13/LA
Appeal by employer against a notice of underpayment in respect of the National Minimum Wage requiring it to make payments of arrears of wages to 26 students, and a further penalty. It contended that the students fell within an exemption from the NMW, provided for by regulation 12(8) of the NMW Regulations. The NMW Regulations state that 'A worker who is undertaking a higher education course and before the course ends is required, as part of that course to attend a period of work experience not exceeding one year does not qualify for the National Minimum Wage in respect of work done for his employer as part of that course'. A higher education course was so defined as to relate only to courses undertaken within the UK. The EAT ruled that the ET was entitled to hold that this was (indirectly) discriminatory, but justified as a proportionate means of preventing abuse of the NMW system, which was a legitimate aim.
