Employers 'Named And Shamed' For Failure To Pay National Minimum Wage
The Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (DBIS) has issued a list of more than 100 employers who have failed to pay their workers the National Minimum Wage.
Business Minister Nick Boles published the list in a "name and shame" operation against 115 company, who owe a total of £389,000 to its employees.
Business Minister Nick Boles said: "Employers that fail to pay the minimum wage hurt the living standards of the lowest paid and their families.
"As a one nation government on the side of working people we are determined that everyone who is entitled to the National Minimum Wage receives it.
"Next April we will introduce a new National Living Wage which will mean a £900-a-year pay rise for someone working full time on the minimum wage and we will enforce this equally robustly."
The list, topped by high street chain Monsoon, which owes £104,507.83 to 1438 workers, can be read on the DBIS website.
