the guy who hired them, he should go straight to jail, how much has he ripped the gov/tax payer off with ? 21 people for x years, not paying tax or NI, i bet if he says he cant pay the £200k fine, and they say your'e off to prison, i bet he finds the money then.. he should at least get 6 months to a year.. he'll just do it again, knowing what ever he saved will be more than the fine, poor i bet he was paying them a £1 a hr with free rent, and sharing the room with the other 20
I think there should be a cut off point where fines are replaced by jail terms, say maybe 4 or more and you go down for about 2 years, then 6 or more and you go down for 3 years etc. That might frighten them a bit more than the fines. I think that because they are saving so much money hiring illegals and paying them well below the minimum wage, that they are just taking what they might see as a sort of a very calculated gamble; heads they win, tails they lose just a little of their overall long term winnings.
