Clothes retailer H&M has been named as one of a group of companies that filed to pay the minium wage.
The company has been named and shamed by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills over pay to 540 workers. It now faces fines of more than £51,000 and must pay £177,000 to the employees.
The company has been approached for comment but told the BBC that there were errors that led to the underpayment of £2,694.87 each.
The statement said: ‘Unfortunately due to errors within some of our stores concerning time logging, 540 employees were accidentally underpaid the national minimum wage.
‘All such arrears were immediately processed and we accept that the errors should not have occurred.’
Welcome Break has also been shamed after 20 people were left £1,318.70 out of pocket. The firm said an IT issue was to blame for the error.

18 to 20 year olds – £5.13 per hour
16 to 17 year olds – £3.79 per hour
