Named and shamed: The firms NOT paying British workers the minimum wage
HIGH street retailer Monsoon and Accesorize has topped a list of firms that failed to pay their staff the bare minimum required by law.
Monsoon Accesorize topped a list of firms not paying workers the minimum wage
The woman's clothing and accessory chain was found to have owed more than £100,000 to 1,438 workers by the Government.
Monsoon's website boasts about 'ethical trading' as it asks suppliers to commit to a 'code of conduct' to protect workers in factories abroad.
The firm says: "We want to do right by the people who make our beautiful things."
But closer to home, the brand had to be forced to pay its store workers the £6.70 required by law.
The firm now faces fines after the investigation from HM Revenue and Customs.
Business minister Nick Boles said: "Employers who fail to pay the minimum wage hurt the living standards of the lowest paid and their families."
Other firms on the list revealed by the Government include hairdressers, a taxi firm, hotels, a nursery school and a funeral director.
Behind Monsoon, Tyne & Wear Riding for the Disabled Association owed the largest amount with more than £27,000 due to six workers.
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: "It's good to see that the Government is naming and shaming more companies who pay their employees less than the minimum wage.
"However, today's list of offenders is only the tip of the iceberg. Many more employers are getting away with illegal underpayment."
