or “Labour inspectors and government agencies can share information to help each other do their jobs better.”
You could also call this:

“When company bosses might have to pay workers' wages and holiday money”

This part of the law is no longer in effect. It used to talk about when people in charge of a company, like officers, directors, or agents, could be responsible for paying workers the minimum wage and holiday pay. However, on 1 April 2016, this section was removed from the Employment Relations Act 2000. If you want to know more about the current rules for minimum wages and holiday pay, you should look at other parts of the law that are still active.
