26 Feb 2024 --- More than 500 companies — including Estée Lauder — are targeted by the UK government for not paying workers the National Living Wage. The investigations by HM Revenue & Customs span from 2015 to 2023 and found that 524 businesses failed to pay the minimum wage, so employers were collectively ordered to repay workers more than £16 million (US$20 million), plus an additional financial penalty.
