Brighton & Hove Albion criticise government for including club in minimum wage "shaming" list

Brighton & Hove Albion criticise a government list which says that the club does not pay the minimum wage, declaring their intention to be more "risk averse" with work experience programmes in future.

Brighton & Hove Albion have decided to be "more risk averse" with their work experience programme after being named for failing to pay the minimum wage.

The Championship club said that its reputation had been "unfairly tarnished" after it appeared on a government list of almost 200 employers named and shamed for not paying workers the legal minimum rate.

According to Brighton, the case was a "minor administrative error" which resulted from being "over-generous" in paying expenses to someone on work experience two years ago.

A spokesperson for the club said: "In light of this, we are now more risk averse in terms of offering work experience opportunities. This means we are unable to give as many valuable on-the-job work experience opportunities to those looking to further their career or break into this highly competitive industry.

"It is a shame because a number of people who've spent time with us, on work experience placements, have gone on to win successful job roles across the football and sports industry, at the highest level - here in the Premier League and EFL and others abroad."

League Two club Blackpool was also included in the report, with each entity accused of failing to pay one employee the correct amount.
