The government has named employers that failed to pay some staff the minimum wage.
The latest list includes Northern Ireland businesses, racing trainers Alan King and Lucinda Russell, and retailer B&Q.
Those named must repay the money owed to workers.
Separately, new figures suggest that wages are falling behind in real terms.
That is a worrying economic indicator.
Prices are rising faster than pay, leaving workers feeling the squeeze.
The government list and the pay data both point to financial strain for workers.
Officials said enforcement action would follow for employers who broke minimum wage rules.
