Derby businesses named for failing to pay workers National Minimum Wage - UK Government release full list
Three Derby businesses have been named in a government list for failing to pay National Minimum and National Living Wages. Workers will receive over £7.4 million back.
Three Derby businesses have been named in a government list of employers who failed to pay National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage.
The UK Government says the clawback has resulted in more money put into the pockets of hardworking people, as it delivers the ‘biggest upgrade to worker’s rights in a generation’ as part of the Plan for Change.
Workers will be paid over £7.4 million by employers after nearly 60,000 workers have been left out of pocket.
The action builds on recent uplift to the National Living and National Minimum Wage which puts £1,400 into the pockets of workers and families across the UK.
518 employers and businesses have since paid back what they owe to their staff.
They have also faced financial penalties of up to 200% of their underpayment.
The investigations by His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) concluded between 2015-2022.
On the 518-strong list are three Derby businesses.

Minister for Employment Rights, Justin Madders said: “There is no excuse for employers to undercut their workers.
“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.”
Baroness Philippa Stroud, Chair of the Low Pay Commission, said: “Underpayment leaves workers out of pocket and disadvantages the majority of employers who do abide by the rules.
“These naming rounds play an important part in ensuring that all workers receive their full wages and that they are aware there is support for them to ensure that they do.”
