Commenting on the government announcement today (Friday)
which named and shamed five employers for not paying the minimum wage, TUC
General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:
“It’s good to see the government naming and shaming these
minimum wage dodgers. This should provide a strong disincentive to other rogue
companies contemplating breaking the law.
“However, all of those named so far have been small
businesses who’ve underpaid a couple of members of staff. There are companies
out there who are cheating hundreds of staff out of a legal minimum wage. These
are the biggest offenders and their pay crimes must be made public too.
“This is a welcome start towards a more transparent
enforcement of the legal minimum wage and we urge ministers to expose many more
dishonest employers in the coming months.”
