I see that Wigan RLFC were on last week’s government list of ‘rogue employers’ failing to pay the minimum wage! Only related to one employee, unlike Tesco’s nearly 78,000+
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/rogu ... nimum-wage
Is there any sanction for seemingly bringing the game into disrepute?

True and it is always an admin error or misunderstanding.
You would have thought they would be wanting to avoid these misunderstandings as they reflect badly on Wigan and RL.

| I can, sort of, understand how an "admin error" leads to 78000 Tesco employees being short by £70 each, but more baffled how you underpay 1 person by £4.5k without that person saying something?

The annual salary on minimum wage is £15,269 per year (source: ons.gov.uk), so (it seems difficult to get exact details) they were paying a full-time worker around £10,800 per year?
Fairly despicable for a major sporting institution, if you ask me. It's not like they're a small business who has a book-keeper in one day a week to do payroll.

Indeed, and it really is nobody else's business, IF true and IF said individual carried on working it is not an issue, same as the alleged people working for Tesco, a lot of fake news around at the moment, but some swallow it up.
Tom Hanks moved to Greece because paedophilia is deemed a disability - false
Al Pacino has been convicted of child molesting - false
This is Warringtons year - false
People need to stop believing everything they read online!

| It's not "fake news", it happened (as gov.uk report, and club statement below) and it has been addressed (albeit still not clear how 1 person for 'a short period' ends up as £4.5k):
[urlhttps://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12176199/st-johnstone-and-wigan-warriors-named-on-governments-rogue-employers-list#[/url
"Wigan Warriors said their breach of the law was due to a "clerical oversight" and they co-operated with HMRC accordingly.
A statement read: "During 2017 Wigan Rugby League Club Ltd was selected as part of HMRC's routine monitoring procedures for a full review and audit of its compliance with National Minimum Wage Regulations.
"The company provided HMRC with full and transparent access to the company's records during their review.
"During the course of HMRC's audit, one administrative employee was found to not have been paid in accordance with NMW regulations for a short period during 2017.
"This had been caused by a clerical oversight at the time the individual commenced employment with the company.
"The company quickly responded to the situation and carried out a full investigation into the circumstances that led to the oversight.
"It was quickly ascertained that the oversight was an isolated incident. The situation with the employee in question was immediately corrected, including making up full pay in line with NMW for the period in question.
"Systems and procedures have since been updated to ensure that such an oversight would not occur again in the future.
"HMRC's audit found the company to be fully compliant with National Minimum Wage regulations in all other areas and recognised that there was no intent to deceive or obstruct.
"Wigan Rugby League Club Ltd takes the National Minimum Wage Regulations extremely seriously and recognises that we have a clear responsibility as an employer to ensure the company complies with these regulations."
