A CO Derry company is among five firms in the North named and shamed today by the government for failing to pay the minimum wage.
They are Grove Mechanical Services in Magherafelt.
The minimum wage for workers over the age of 21 is £6.50 per hour.
The five firms in the North are among a list of 70 offenders named and shamed across the UK.
The government has also revealed the exact amounts owed to the workers who were underpaid by their employers.
- Grove Mechanical Services Ltd, Magherafelt, neglected to pay £107 to two workers
- Manleys Ltd, Belfast, failed to pay £3,797.83 to three members of its staff
- Julie Ann Wright, trading The Worx, Portadown, underpaid a worker by £1,110.60
- Phillip and Lorraine Campbell, trading as Supervalu, Kells, Ballymena, failed to pay £905.86 to two employees
- Kevin and Bernadette Farrell, trading as Derrygonnelly Autos, County Fermanagh, failed to pay £1,690.35 to an employee
These details have come to light after new rules to crack down on issue came into effect in 2013.
It comes a day after the Low Pay Commission recommended a 3% rise in the minimum wage from October, that would be the biggest increase since 2008.
A decision will be made in the coming weeks.
