HMRC have revealed a list of the more bizarre excuses that they have received from employers who are guilty of not paying their workers the National Minimum Wage.  These include:

• I thought it was ok to pay foreign workers below the National Minimum Wage as they aren’t British and don’t have the right to be paid it.
• I’ve got an agreement with my workers that I won’t pay them the National Minimum Wage: they understand and they’ve even signed a contract to this effect
