It's the players and them being told not to take cuts straight away that is distasteful. Hopefully that gets resolved by the weekend. Can understand clubs furloughing other staff, some of it will be necessary as they can't necessarily come in because of distancing requirements.

Leyther_Matt Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Taken a while, but I'm now in. Albeit with work topping up the 20% so definitely can't grumble about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed It’s a payment to support businesses who have seen huge revenue decreases because of the social distancing measures Football players are a funny one, technically they could be furloughed you’d imagine, but then again they are also assets on a balance sheet. Furloughing could allow them to walk out of a contract and re sign for another club in a few months with a large signing on fee You'd imagine the PFA agreed some sort of deferred wage scheme soon enough. Not sure how that could work in the lower leagues though With no guarantee of sport resuming any time soon, it’s a mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobarp Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 It’s on its way at my company imminently. Although they are paying folk In full irrespective of salary but they need to take 5 days annual leave to compensate for it which is fair enough. needless to say I just want to carry on working and earn my wage rather than being sat at home bored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 So yesterday our part of the company furloughed the majority of the staff with only a few of us kept on, from my section there is just the director and two of us as the senior account directors whilst work has dropped off mine has now gone up. They are paying the extra 20% I think they’ll keep an eye on it and I could be in the next phase but at the moment I’m on annual leave so not working anyway (we have to take 50% of our leave before H2 otherwise it gets taken away from us to stop mass holidays in Nov/Dec) but I’ve done some work everyday as there are now only 60 of us - and half of them come from areas that haven’t been affected (or workload has increased) such as gaming or the Netflix team.
