By Scunthorpe nursery failed to pay minimum wage
Almost 200 businesses (191 companies) have been singled out for breaking laws linked to the National Minimum Wage.
Local Scunthorpe nursery is amongst one of the companies who has failed to pay their employees minimum wage.
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has today named and shamed employers who have underpaid staff.
The Government has acknowledged that while many of the breaches may not be intentional, employers have a clear duty to abide by the laws linked to Minimum Wage.
As such, employers which made the list were required to pay back what they owed. On top of this, the employers were also fined an additional £3.2 million – a step the Government hopes will act as a deterrent.

Little Tots Nursery Ltd, Scunthorpe has failed to pay £2754.06 to 9 workers.
Employers who pay workers less than the minimum wage are expected to pay back arrears of wages to the worker at current minimum wage rates.
They also face hefty financial penalties of up to 200 per cent of arrears – capped at £20,000 per worker, the latest report shows.
Minimum wage breaches can occur when workers are being paid on or just above the minimum wage rate, and then have deductions from their pay for uniform or accommodation.
