Across the UK, 518 businesses were found to have failed to pay their workers over £7.4 million in a breach of the National Minimum Wage law, leaving almost 60,000 workers out of pocket. This includes 44 businesses in Scotland.
Justin Madders, Minister for Employment Rights, said: “There is no excuse for employers to undercut their workers, and we will continue to name companies who break the law and don’t pay their employees what they are owed.
“Ensuring workers have the support they need and making sure they receive a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work is a key commitment in our Plan for Change. This will put more money in working people’s pockets, helping to boost productivity and ending low pay.”
If workers suspect they are being underpaid, they can visit gov.uk/checkyourpay to find out more about what they can do.
Workers can also call the Acas helpline on 0300 123 1100 or visit their website for free, impartial and confidential advice or complain to HMRC at the Pay and work rights helpline and complaints.
