Southampton have been accused of failing to comply with minimum wage legislation.
The Premier League club have been reported to the tax office (HMRC) and Southampton City Council by Andrew Pope, an independent councillor in the south coast city.
Cllr Pope's complaint relates to an advert on the club's own website in July this year for a job in the ticket office at a rate of £6.50 per hour which was the minimum wage rate in 2014. This year it is £7.20.
Southampton refute the allegations and say they expect to comply with a minimum wage audit recently undertaken at the club.
