    Thanks, guys. Yes, for clarification, I'm £5 short per payday not per hour! I'd leave and not come back if that were the case.

    I do have some applications lined up. My only issue with dobbing them in is that my coworkers are genuinely nice people and I don't want to be responsible for them potentially losing their jobs. On the other hand, they're getting cheated as well.

    Also, if I were to leave and then they were investigated by HMRC, would it not be immediately obvious that I was responsible for whistle blowing?

    Have you heard of the phrase, revenge is a dish best served cold.

    You leave it a while before dobbing them in.

    I think if your pay is bumped up to NMW you will be getting less than you are now. He may be doing you a favour.

    If you had a choice between this job and no job, which one would you choose? Just keep looking for other jobs.
