Staff working at warehouses supplying the group, including Sports Direct, Flannels, Jack Wills and USC, are reportedly not being paid for half-hour breaks and are not able to leave the premises during breaks, according to an investigation by The Guardian.

The newspaper sent a reporter to one of Frasers’ warehouses over two weeks in late June and early July. With unpaid breaks, warehouse staff are effectively being paid £8.20 an hour – compared to the legal minimum of £8.72.
