Freddy s Chicken and Pizza in Hyndburn, which was owned by Alaska Fast Foods Ltd, failed to pay seven of its workers a total of £2,180.93 over a two year period. Following a government investigation between 2016 and 2018, which looked into rogue employers who failed to pay the minimum wage, Alaska Fast Foods Ltd, which was dissolved in 2019, was found to be flagrantly breaching employment laws. The takeaway was among hundreds of companies named by the government for failing to pay the national minimum wage, including Regional Buildings Assessments LLP in Hyndburn, who failed to pay £562.89 to two workers and Helio Leisure Limited, trading as Helio Fitness, in Fylde, who failed to pay £7,298.69 to 26 workers.
