As they do at present.
We've been trying to get archaeologists to report companies paying below minima for years, we even succeeded in getting the IfA disciplinary code changed so groups like DF could take on 'anonymous' complaints. And we have taken some complaints forward (there's one about to start at the moment, I doubt I will ever work for that company
), but whilst everyone seems to know someone who is getting paid £14K, no-one seems to be able to actually provide any evidence of it -except for companies who appear to be deliberately 100% outside the IfA. So are there companies paying below minima? Probably. Can we find them? Not easily. It doesn't help matters.That is why I would want any RO to have to (as part of the rules of their scheme) alert the IfA of any change to their wage structure that would take them below minima, in advance. And the audit would then need to approve it in advance. And that any RO that did for some reason pay below minima was identified publicly (as they used to be). If you want to be in a club, you got to abide by the rules.
