Notable violators include Prezzo Ltd, which owed over 163,000 to 2,550 employees, and several other companies with smaller debts.

The article highlights ongoing financial accountability in the workforce.
Justin Madders, Minister for Employment Rights, stated: '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.'
