UK forces 389 firms to repay £7.3M in unpaid minimum wages to 60K workers ahead of new wage enforcement agency launch.
The UK government has ordered 389 employers to repay £7.3 million in unpaid minimum wages to around 60,000 workers, following a major enforcement push that also imposed £12.6 million in penalties.
Companies including ISS, Bupa, Costa Coffee, and Norwich City were named for underpaying staff across sectors like social care, retail, and sports.
Most affected workers have received full repayment, and the move marks the final public naming round before the new Fair Work Agency takes over wage enforcement on April 7.
The government stressed its commitment to fair pay and urged all employers to review payroll practices ahead of upcoming wage increases.
