4,000 Rogue Employers Blacklisted: Check Before You Join

How does the blacklist deter arrears?

The MPFA is publishing a blacklist of 4,000 employers hit with civil claims or criminal convictions for arrears in five years — names and business registration numbers online, delisted after five clean years; jobseekers, banks and government outsourcers can all check. Reputational damage raises the cost of defaulting.

How should workers use the list?

Check before accepting a job — don’t discover the fire after joining. After joining, still check your own account regularly; the blacklist deters, but self-checks protect.
