Scenario- (not unusual I dare say, sadly)
Employers of a local restaurant (award winning, best in the area on Tripadvisor) are put on salaried contracts yet work up to double this with not a penny of additional renumeration. Effective £/hr is, in some cases, little over two quid.
What should happen here?

I wouldn't. Sadly the man who owns this place (and who puts himself forward locally as a positive force) seems to take advantage of those that do.
His employees are too scared to stand up to him and he rakes the cash in. It stinks.0 -

they the employer would have to prove who worked what hours and what they were paid etcI'd happily do it but I dare say that'd be difficult to back up unless an employee confirmed it.
One I was talking to just shrugged his shoulders as if to say 'what can I do?'.
You can not have staff working unpaid hours and not pay them bringing the wages under the nmw
People get paid less as no one will report the company
What do the pay slips say about hours worked? Anything?We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

I haven't seen a payslip but they are 'salaried' so receive an identical payment each week. Perhaps it makes just reference to the contractual hours.
I've found a complaint form but it seems it can only be completed by the employee.

The person needs to call the number
Still they have to prove they are working the appropriate amount of hours that do not put them under the nmwWe’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Perhaps an anonymous letter to the owner of the business may have a positive effect as I doubt any of the employees themselves would be prepared to take action, sadly.0
