HMRC has named and shamed over 500 UK employers for failing to pay the National Living Wage (NLW) or the National Minimum Wage (NMW).
The employers will now be forced to repay over £7.4 million to nearly 60,000 workers who had been left out of pocket.
The rates for NLW increased to £12.21 an hour on 1 April and the government says this put £1,400 into the pockets of full-time workers on NLW.
Justin Madders, Minister for Employment Rights, said:
'There is no excuse for employers to undercut their workers, and we will continue to name companies who break the law and don't pay their employees what they are owed.
'Ensuring workers have the support they need and making sure they receive a fair day's pay for a fair day's work is a key commitment in our Plan for Change. This will put more money in working people's pockets, helping to boost productivity and ending low pay.'

HMRC's large business directorate has doubled the amount of tax revenue it collects, according to the National Audit Office (NAO).
HMRC has taken in over £137 million from late payment interest so far for 2023/24, a freedom of information request from investment platform AJ Bell shows.
Almost 400 employers from across the UK have been named for failing to pay the minimum wage to tens of thousands of workers, says the government.
