Transline, the temporary employment agency that became embroiled in the Sports Direct scandal, has submitted court documents preparing the company for insolvency. A Transline spokesperson said: “The company has suffered as a result of a continued move to tighter margins in the recruitment industry. Sports Direct must urgently move to put agency workers onto permanent contracts to bring security to the workforce and certainty to the business. “Transline must not be allowed to dodge its responsibilities or the back pay it owes for non-payment of the minimum wage at Sports Direct. It must continue to pay the wages of the tens of thousands of low paid agency workers it currently employs across the UK.
