Almost 140 companies, including some of the UK’s biggest household names, are being named and shamed today for failing to pay their workers the minimum wage.
THE directors of a hairdressing firm which failed to pay its workers the minimum wage were made OBEs in the New Year Honours list. Alan and Linda Stewart were made Officers of the Order of the British Empire in the New Year Honours list. But their Rainbow Room hairdressers in Glasgow’s Royal Exchange Square failed to pay £851.70 to six workers between 2016 and 2018, an investigation by the taxman revealed. The couple founded Rainbow Room -International which has 12 salons around Glasgow and the West of Scotland. The salon’s website describes the owners as a “formidable force in the hairdressing industry”, adding: “As well as building Scotland’s largest salon group, they have maintained the business’s high standards and reputation for hairdressing excellence.”
