A beauty clinic in Sutton has been listed by the Government for failing to pay an employee the National Minimum Wage and Living Wage.

Enhance Beauty Clinic in Banstead Road, Carshalton, failed to pay £646.45 to one worker, according to a HM Revenue and Customs report.

The list, which included the names of 230 employers, was published by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy yesterday, August 16.

Margot James, Business Minister, said: “It is against the law to pay workers less than legal minimum wage rates, short-changing ordinary working people and undercutting honest employers.

“Today’s naming round identifies a record £2 million of back pay for workers and sends the clear message to employers that the government will come down hard on those who break the law.”

Melissa Tatton, Director at HM Revenue and Customs, said: “HMRC is committed to getting money back into the pockets of underpaid workers, and continues to crack down on employers who ignore the law.

“Those not paying workers the National Minimum or Living Wage can expect to face the consequences.”

The manager of Enhance Beauty Clinic was unavailable for comment today.

£7.50 is the current National Living Wage and the adult rate for those between 21 and 24 is £7.05.
