HMRC has named and shamed over 500 UK employers for failing to pay the National Living Wage (NLW) or the National Minimum Wage (NMW).
The employers will now be forced to repay over £7.4 million to nearly 60,000 workers who had been left out of pocket.
The rates for NLW increased to £12.21 an hour on 1 April and the government says this put £1,400 into the pockets of full-time workers on NLW.
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.'
