'No excuse' | Pizza Express, Lidl & British Airways among big names found to have underpaid living & minimum wage

Over £7.4 million in underpaid wages is being repaid to nearly 60,000 UK workers after HMRC identified breaches of minimum wage law by more than 500 employers, including a number of household names.

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has named 518 companies for failing to meet National Minimum Wage (NMW) or National Living Wage (NLW) requirements. The employers have since repaid the money owed and faced financial penalties of up to 200% of the underpayment.
