The government has named and shamed companies found to have not paid workers the minimum wage.
Business minister Jo Swinson said in total the 37 companies owed employers £177,000 in arrears.
Paying less than the minimum wage is illegal, immoral and completely unacceptable. If employers break this law they need to know that we will take tough action by naming, shaming and fining them as well as helping workers recover the hundreds of thousands of pounds in pay owed to them
