BBC NewsDerbyshire-based Sports Direct, and two staff agencies it used, have had to pay back a total of £1.1m to their workers.
Image source, PAThe retailer was in the top five on a government list of firms that have had to repay the most to its staff.
Sports Direct - together with the two agencies, Transline and Best Connection which it used to supply its staff - underpaid more than 4,000 staff in total.
The retailer, led by Mike Ashley (pictured) said the underpayment related to a "historical situation in our warehouse that was widely publicised in 2016".
An investigation by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) last year found some workers at the retailer's main distribution centre in Shirebrook had been docked 15 minutes' pay if they clocked on one minute late.
