How much are illegal worker fines?

The story mentions a £45,000 fine, but the Home Office can issue penalties of up to £60,000 per illegal worker for repeat offences. First-time offenders face a £45,000 fine. This aims to deter employers from exploiting vulnerable individuals and ensure fair competition for legitimate businesses.
