The Home Office has announced that it is ‘naming and shaming’ companies that flout the law by employing illegal immigrants, on it’s website from 19th June.
They have revealed that 35 companies have already been fined, mostly small fast food businesses, with fines ranging from £5,000 to £22,500.
The highest fines have been handed out to Besmullah Car Wash in Newcastle and USA Nails in Leicester-both having three employees not entitled to work in the UK.
More than 200 companies have been fined for hiring illegal labour and 265 fines have been collected since February amassing £2.35million.
Prosecutions already equal ten times those made in 2007 and double the total for the previous decade, officials have revealed.
The named and shamed companies can be viewed here at the UK Borders website.
