Over 200 retailers ’named and shamed’ for staff pay breaches - check out the full list below

Retailers WH Smith, M&S and Argos have been “named and shamed” by the Department for Business and Trade for not paying some 63,000 staff members the legal minimum wage in a 2019 review conducted by HMRC.

Although it is uncertain how much M&S, Argos and WH Smith have been fined, the government said it is up to 200% of the arrears they owed, the BBC reported. A spokesman for the pharmacy said: “As soon as we were made aware, we acted quickly to notify affected colleagues and reimburse them.Supermarket retailer M&S left 5,363 out of pocket by £578,391, at over £100 each, as it said the error developed after failing to pay temporary staff fast enough.

Bryan Sanderson, chair of the Low Pay Commission said: "The minimum wage acts as a guarantee to ensure all workers without exception receive a decent minimum standard of pay. Kevin Hollinrake, the minister for enterprise, markets and small business acknowledged that some of the underpayments were down to genuine error, but added that “there is no excuse for underpaying workers”.
