Makes sense to me; surprised they haven't been furloughed already as they are not able to work and bring in money for their employers.

Under furlow your not supposed to work at all or use any business equipment such as work laptops , mobiles, emails etc
I've commented on the best 23 thread about this, but it doesn't sit right with me that regions are furlowing staff and still continuing to sign players on big money contracts

As far as furloughed employees not being able to work is concerned, where do you draw the line. Eating is part of a pro rugby players work yet we can all agree they must still eat. Furloughed employees can also undertake training provided they don’t earn revenue for their employees. The way I see it, as long as they are not playing a game, they can be furloughed without any real problem. It’s all about applying common sense to the rules in an unusual situation. As for signing new players; I don’t think a new employee can be furloughed and besides, they won’t be able to join the region until lockdown and hence furloughing is over; so a non-problem really. |

Staff should be considered first and foremost. By that i mean the shop, marketing, finance people then the academy guys on low money. Players will have to suck it up and live like the rest of us for a while.
Thats my view anyhow.

Players aren't immunized any more than anyone else from these impacts.
25% cuts for earners above 25k already in place, I'm not sure how they got to that number, probably should have been more. Pretty ordinary commentary tbh. Edited by Wil Chips - 20 April 2020 at 11:51am |

The 25% cut suggests to me however that the regions won't be furloughing players if they are putting this measure in place. Edit: I had originally assumed that the region would pay the full wage and Government would contribute £2,500 per month.

If the Scarlets keep the players on big money and furloughed or even let go all the behind the scenes staff would you feel that was justified. I’m saying that it wouldn’t be fair is all.

I'm sorry but at the top end of the game they are , the test players who have been earning over 6 figures for a long period of time should have more than enough wealth behind them to see them through this period 25% pay cut for a few months when your earning a 6 figure salary is a lot easier to handle than say someone earning 18 k a year who has to take a similar size % drop I know that not all our players are on that sort of salary and this is not aimed at them and it's not a criticism of the players just of the whole situation Edited by RR1972 - 20 April 2020 at 12:18pm |

I had originally thought at the start of the thread that the region would pay the full wages of players and furloughing would mean the government pay 80%. Actually, as Wil has pointed out, the players are having their wages cut by 25%, which makes them pretty big losers compared to the staff, who presumably will be on their full pay still.

25% pay cut when your still on over 100k and in some cases 200k a year isn’t that bad. Players should be able to live with that. Furlough could mean a 20% pay cut for staff, its really up to the Scarlets they will only recieve 80% of the ‘normal wage’ up to that £2500 cap for each furloughed employee.
The staff could be paid 80%. If your working in the Scarlets shop on close to the minimum wage or your the club sous chef etc thats going to hurt.
