Very poor show. Club need to make a statement about this.

Not sure there's much in this. Years ago and quickly sorted. It happens.

One worker underpaid by £4,500?
Seems a strange one.

Without knowing the full extent of what's occurred (that is FULL details and not a SkySports headline/article), I think its hard to be too critical.
Obviously the headline doesn't read well, but if it was an oversight, I suppose it can happen in any organisation. Personally, if I was on minimum wage, I would have thought you'd have noticed the difference? Maybe its a contract error etc?
Shame for the employee in question, either way, its good its resolved

What trolls will forget is that Wigan where chosen as a random sample, so it doesn't mean the mistake hasn't happened at other clubs

If you actually read the article it seems to be a genuine one off mistake that has been rectified from 2017

Tesco have also made this error as have many other companies. It’s a mistake which has been rectified!

I'm not wanting to have a go at the club, and fully accept that anyone can make a mistake.
On the other hand, I don't think that loyalty to the club means we should automatically swallow the PR blurb they put out.
A mistake, underpayment to one admin worker for "a short period of time". Yet it totalled over £4500 ???
If minimum wage was around £8 an hour at that time, and say the person concerned worked 37 hours a week and the underpayment was £1 an hour, it would take over 2 years to reach £4500 underpaid!
Now to be over a 6 month period, they'd need to be underpaid £173 a week or £4.67 an hour, meaning they were on just £3.33 an hour for 6 months!
Just how long would you say a "short" period is in this context?

Well said Josie,perhaps the “righteous” ones who can’t wait to criticise the club will let it drop. Perhaps.
