Argos fails to pay National Living Wage
Sainsbury's, which owns the company, admitted that staff had not been paid for attending briefings before their shifts started. Last year Sports Direct had to refund workers a million pounds for spending time unpaid in security queues. It said 360 businesses had failed to pay either the National Living Wage or the National Minimum Wage. In a letter to staff, John Rogers, the chief executive of Argos, said, "This related to the timings of colleague briefings, which could happen before colleagues had clocked into their shifts, and security searches, which could happen after colleagues had clocked out of their shifts." Among those who will be given refunds are 12,000 staff who currently work at Argos.
