The Falkirk FC Thread


Recommended Posts

Quote

Three Scottish football clubs have been "named and shamed" for underpaying staff.

Motherwell, Greenock Morton and Falkirk were on a list of employers not paying the minimum wage.

Motherwell FC failed to pay £2,755.34 to 12 workers, with Greenock Morton FC keeping £2,382.46 from six members of staff.

Falkirk FC had to pay back nearly £495 owed to one worker.

How many people does the club employ? Make light of it if you want but 500 quid is a huge amount of money for someone on minimum wage.

Don Hartley though pml

Of course it is. I don' think anyone is making light of an employee missing out on their wage. It's the 'named and shamed' bracket that Falkirk has been included in when in context is not a lot of money for the football club to withhold from someone deliberately to the club's own financial gain.

An inability to track wages of employees properly on a staff that size points to mismanagement which is more concerning than 500 quid.

Not even £495, nearly £495. The absolute shame. I can't believe we held this back from an employee to the benefit of our own financial gain. 

Still, it’s  good to see you finally squaring up Houstie for all his hard work over the years.

There is a certain irony in that Doug Henderson and his Labour cronies harp on constantly about minimum and living wage TBH....

Mad that Falkirk fans are making light of the fact that underpaying minimum wage staff to that extent could’ve feasibly killed the employee. There’s every chance they could’ve starved to death or been forced to sleep rough. 

Bore off
