A pharmacy has been "named and shamed" for paying less than the minimum wage – over what the owners say was a technicality.
Parkem Chemists, in Dominion Road, Glenfield, is on a list of 92 companies the Government claim short-changed staff out of a grand total of £1.87 million.
However pharmacy owners Mr Suryakant and Mrs Subha Patel said they were simply caught out for letting staff buy items from the shop on account – and at a 15 per cent discount – then deducting the money from their wages at the end of the month.
