Employers who do not pay workers the national minimum wage and the National Living Wage will face tougher penalties under plans outlined by the government.
These include doubling penalties for non-payment and disqualifying employers from being a company director for up to 15 years.
Employment Minister Nick Boles told the BBC the government was "very keen to step up enforcement".
The National Living Wage of £7.20 an hour comes into force in April 2016.
