The remedy is to "compensate" the amount that it plays sharp by increasing the actual vibrating string length by moving the saddle away from the nut.

It is also POSSIBLE for the nut to be placed slightly wrong. Some guitar builders make the distance from nut to first fret slightly shorter than calculated, to improve intonation at the first few frets.
High action may increase intonation problems.
Worst case is that the frets are not placed correctly.
