The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy today named 360 businesses who underpaid 15,520 workers a total of £995,233, with employers in the hairdressing, hospitality and retail sectors the most prolific offenders.
As well as recovering arrears for some of the UK’s lowest paid workers, HMRC issued penalties worth around £800,000.
For the first time, the naming list includes employers who failed to pay eligible workers at least the new National Living Wage rate, which is currently £7.20 for workers aged 25 and over.
Business Minister Margot James said:
Every worker in the UK is entitled to at least the national minimum or living wage and this government will ensure they get it.
That is why we have named and shamed more than 350 employers who failed to pay the legal minimum, sending the clear message to employers that minimum wage abuses will not go unpunished.
Excuses for underpaying workers included using tips to top up pay, docking workers’ wages to pay for their Christmas party and making staff pay for their own uniforms out of their salary.
Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Rt Hon James Brokenshire MP said:
The National Living and Minimum Wage, which every worker is entitled to, is an essential part of building the higher wage, lower welfare, lower tax society that the UK needs.
Thanks to government investigations more than 15 and a half thousand of the UK’s lowest paid workers are to be back paid as we continue to build a Northern Ireland, and wider United Kingdom, that works for everyone.

The publication comes weeks after the Government launched a £1.7 million national minimum and living wage awareness-raising campaign, encouraging the UK’s lowest paid workers to check they are being paid the correct rates and to report their employer if they are not.
Since the naming and shaming scheme was introduced by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) in October 2013, more than 1,000 employers have been named, with arrears totalling more than £4.5 million. More than £2 million in fines have been issued to national minimum and living wage offenders.
There are currently more than 1,500 open cases which HMRC is investigating.
Notes to editors
Employers have a duty to be aware of and comply with the different legal national minimum and living wage rates. If workers are concerned that they are not being paid the correct rates or if employers need more information about the legal requirements then they can seek advice from Acas: www.acas.org.uk/nmw
Any complaints that are raised with Acas will be referred to HMRC who will investigate.
HMRC follows up on every complaint made to Acas.
More than 1,500 cases are currently being worked on by HMRC and eligible employers will be named and shamed after their cases have been closed.
Sectors which feature prominently in this naming and shaming round are:
hospitality: 84 employers, £240,516.64 arrears for 563 workers
retail: 51 employers, £220,103.78 arrears for 167 workers
hairdressing: 39 employers, £65,964.20 arrears for 85 workers
social care: 24 employers, £43,636.90 for 145 workers
The current minimum wage rates are:
National Living Wage (25 years and over) - £7.20 per hour
adult rate of National Minimum Wage (21 to 24-year-olds) - £6.95 per hour
18 to 20-year olds - £5.55 per hour
16 to 17-year-olds - £4.00 per hour
apprentice rate - £3.40 per hour
Rates are set to increase on 1 April to:
National Living Wage (25 years and over) - £7.50 per hour
adult rate of National Minimum Wage (21 to 24-year-olds) - £7.05 per hour
18 to 20-year-olds - £5.60 per hours
16 to 17-year-olds £4.05 per hour
apprentice rate £3.50 per hour
The Government is committed to ensuring all employers are compliant with minimum wage legislation and the effective enforcement of it:
over the next year the Government will spend a record £25.3 million on minimum wage enforcement
in January, the Government appointed Sir David Metcalf as the first ever Director of Labour Market Enforcement to oversee a crackdown on workplace exploitation
in November last year, labour market enforcement undertakings and orders came into force under the Immigration Act which can ultimately lead to criminal prosecutions and prison sentences of up to two years for employers who mistreat their workers, including national minimum wage violations
The revised BEIS scheme to name employers who break minimum wage law came into effect on 1 October 2013. The scheme is one of a range of tools at the Government’s disposal to tackle this issue. Employers who pay workers less than the minimum wage not only have to pay back arrears of wages to the worker at current minimum wage rates but also face financial penalties of up to 200% of arrears, capped at £20,000 per worker. In the most serious cases employers can be prosecuted.
From 1 October 2013, the Government revised the naming scheme to make it simpler to name and shame employers who break the law:
Under this scheme the Government will name all employers that have been issued with a Notice of Underpayment (NoU) unless employers meet one of the exceptional criteria or have arrears of £100 or less. All 360 cases named today (15 February) failed to pay the correct national minimum or living wage rates and owed arrears of at least £100.
Employers have 28 days to appeal to HMRC against the NoU (this notice sets out the owed wages to be paid by the employer together with the penalty for not complying with minimum wage law). If the employer does not appeal or unsuccessfully appeals against this NoU, BEIS will consider them for naming. The employer then has 14 days to make representations to BEIS outlining whether they meet any of the exceptional criteria:
Naming by BEIS carries a risk of personal harm to an individual or their family;
There are national security risks associated with naming in this instance;
Other factors which suggest that it would not be in the public interest to name the employer.
If BEIS does not receive any representations or the representations received are unsuccessful, the employer will be named via a BEIS press release under this scheme.
