Updated A company hailed as the UK s top tech employer tried to diddle a former trainee out of £2,000 in unlawfully withheld back pay – and a judge was startled when he discovered how Sparta Global treats its new hires.
The London-headquartered firm, which boasts of delivering top business and technology professionals , in fact forces its trainees to spend three months without pay before locking them into a two-year contract.
If these so-called Spartans want out before that two-year period ends, the company threatens them with a £22,000 training fee , as Croydon Employment Tribunal found.
