THREE Taunton businesses have been named and shamed by Business Minister Nick Boles for failing to pay their workers the National Minimum Wage.
Mr Boles claims OM Hair Salon neglected to pay £1,568.89 to three workers; Patricia Mayhew, of The Stitch Academy, failed to pay one worker £645.28; and On Your Bike (Recycle) Ltd underpaid a worker by £317.61.
He said a Government campaign will ensure employees are paid correctly and any outstanding arrears are paid back to staff.
The three cases are among 75 nationwide “thoroughly investigated” by HM Revenue and Customs.
