A Plymouth firm has been named and shamed in the latest list of employers who have failed to pay the minimum wage.

Hobby Horse Ltd, Plymouth, which neglected to pay £4,049.31 to a worker, is on the last revealed by The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

The list includes employers not complying with minimum wage rules and having arrears of more than £100 owing to staff.

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills said each case had been “thoroughly investigated” by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

Business Minister Jo Swinson said: “Paying less than the minimum wage is illegal, immoral and completely unacceptable.

“Naming and shaming gives a clear warning to employers who ignore the rules that they will face reputational consequences as well as financial penalties of up to £20,000 if they don’t pay the minimum wage.”
