Hyndburn MP Greg Pope has launched a campaign to stop employers breaking minimum wage law.
He said: "The majority of Hyndburn employers are fair-minded and nearly every business in Hyndburn does exactly what's required by law - but I'm determined to make sure no rogue employers make an unfair profit by trying to dodge the minimum wage."
Employers who refuse to pay a proper wage can end up with a criminal record and a £5,000 fine.
