Fair Work Agency recovers over £100,000 in unpaid mileage
What was announced
A investigation resulted in domiciliary care workers at a care provider receiving reimbursement for mileage expenses incurred during their work.
Key points, in the publisher's words
- More than £107,000 has been secured for care workers after a Fair Work Agency investigation, prompted by information received by the contact centre, identified underpayments relating to business mileage.
- The investigation found that domiciliary care workers at a care provider were not receiving appropriate reimbursement for mileage incurred while carrying out their duties.
- Fair Work Agency colleagues worked with the employer to review its mileage arrangements. As a result the company recognised staff had been underpaid and sought to rectify this with affected workers, including former employees. The organisation also increased its mileage reimbursement rate from 5p per mile to 40p per mile for 2026.
