Harrods workers were underpaid thousands of pounds due to an agency payroll error connected to The Best Connection.
The Best Connection said the error was identified and payments were being rectified, with many workers already receiving pay owed.
The Best Connection said the underpayment resulted from a 'human error' and denied a systematic approach to wage practices.
The affair could have affected up to about 1,000 Harrods workers, with potential six-figure sums involved according to some sources.
Harrods described the error as a payslip issue tied to the agency, which has since been corrected.
The Guardian noted the delay in addressing the back pay raised questions about oversight of the agency workforce.
The Best Connection works with major clients and claimed access to over 300,000 temporary workers in the UK.
Waitrose, Next and DHL said the workers they used via The Best Connection had been paid correctly.
The issue adds to Harrods’ ongoing challenges, including a sexual abuse survivor compensation scheme and a recent IT breach.
