Five Firms 'Not Paying Minimum Wage'
Five Northern Irish companies have been named in a government list of firms failing to pay their staff the UK minimum wage.
The five NI firms join a list of seventy others who do not pay the standard minimum wage for workers over 21, which stands at £6.50 per hour.
The five companies are:
• Manleys Ltd, Belfast
• Julie Ann Wright, trading as The Worx, Portadown
• Phillip and Lorraine Campbell, trading as Supervalu, Kells, Ballymena
• Grove Mechanical Services Ltd, Magherafelt
• Kevin and Bernadette Farrell, trading as Derrygonnelly Autos, County Fermanagh.
The publication of business names is part of a series of new rules aimed at "cracking down" on companies not complying with the law.
