Britain's government named almost 200 businesses on Thursday which breached minimum wage laws between 2011 and 2018, with the department store and supermarket chain the John Lewis Partnership heading the list.
The employee-owned retailer, which runs the upmarket Waitrose supermarket chain as well as John Lewis department stores, underpaid nearly 20,000 staff by a total of 941,356 pounds , or just under 49 pounds each., which underpaid 4,366 staff by 258,048 pounds, and rival One Stop Stores Limited which failed to pay 2,631 workers 56,505 pounds of wages.
But Britain's business ministry said on Thursday that it wanted businesses to be "named and shamed" even where errors were inadvertent. John Lewis Partnership said its appearance on the list related to a breach that occurred four years ago.
