BRIGHTON and Hove Albion suspended their work experience programme yesterday after being named and shamed as a business who don’t pay the minimum wage.
The Championship side were named alongside League One outfit Blackpool and nearly 200 other businesses in a list released by the government of firms who owed their workers almost half a million pounds in unpaid wages.
While Blackpool admitted they wronged their former worker to the tune of £517.88, Brighton retreated into defence mode and claimed that their “reputation as a responsible employer has been very unfairly tarnished.”
