The Government has named 66 London employers who failed to pay the minimum wage, as part of ongoing action to Make Work Pay.
Across London, around 7,400 workers have been repaid by their employers—including several well-known high street brands. In total, these employers have been fined approximately £1.6 million for breaking minimum wage laws.
This firm enforcement not only safeguards workers but also ensures fair competition by protecting businesses that treat their staff properly. By taking decisive action, the Government is sending a clear message: it will not tolerate employers who short-change their workers, no matter their size or sector.

Across the UK, nearly 500 employers have been named and fined over £10m for failing to pay the National Minimum Wage.
This means around £6m has been put back in workers’ pockets.
Employment Rights Minister Kate Dearden said: “This government is taking direct action to ensure workers get every penny they’ve earned, and to put an end to bad businesses undercutting good ones.
“We are proud to have delivered a strong minimum wage and enforcing it thoroughly is crucial in our mission to put pounds back in your pocket.
“I know this news will be welcomed by brilliant businesses across the country, those who know that happy well-paid staff are at the heart of building a successful company.
“With our new Fair Work Agency and the coming Employment Rights Bill, this government is keeping our promise to Britain to make work pay again.”
This announcement comes as the Government delivers the most significant upgrade to workers’ rights and enforcement in a generation through its Plan to Make Work Pay, which is expected to directly benefit around 15 million people – half of the UK’s workforce.
Alongside ensuring that hard work is fairly rewarded with decent pay and fair treatment, the forthcoming Employment Rights Bill, coming into effect from April 2026, will establish a new Fair Work Agency. This agency will be given enhanced powers to tackle employers who underpay staff or fail to provide proper holiday and sick pay.
Today’s action follows major increases to the National Minimum Wage introduced earlier this year. From April, millions of workers received a pay rise, with those on the National Living Wage working full-time gaining around £1,400 more per year to support their families.
