Sports Direct Agrees to Back Pay Worth £1m

Sports Direct has agreed to grant thousands of workers back pay totalling around £1m following the admission that the company had not been paying the minimum wage. The deal was struck between Sports Direct, HMRC and the Unite Union and will grant workers pay dating back to May 2012. Both agency workers and contracted staff who are employed at the company's Shirebrook warehouse in Derbyshire will be reimbursed, with some expected to receive up to £1,000.
