Nearly 400 companies from across the UK have been punished by the government after failing to pay the national minimum wage – including the likes of KPMG, Quorn, and Costa.

The Department for Business and Trade named and shamed 389 employers, with an estimated 60,000 workers missing out on £7.3million in wages.

Those featured in the list have been forced to correct the underpayments, ensuring workers are properly compensated, and have been issued with roughly £12.6million in further penalties.

Norwich City FC, Bupa, Hays Travel, Hovis, and Harvey Nichols were also among those named for failing to pay some workers the minimum wage.
