Chelsea To Pay April Wages In Full

By Daily Sports on April 17, 2020

Chelsea have confirmed that they will help their casual working staff by paying them in full for fixtures that have been postponed, including the matches against Aston Villa, Bayern Munich and Leicester City.

The payments will be funded entirely by the club and will go to the support staff who help on matchdays, with the decision set to benefit stewards, hospitality, ground staff and the raffle sellers outside the ground.

Various club legends who work in the premium seating areas including the likes of Ron Harris, Gary Chivers, Paul Canovile, Kerry Dixon and Bobby Tambling will also receive payment.

Chelsea will not require their staff to work any extra days for zero pay when football returns and they have also issued an advance on accrued holiday pay.

Indeed, a likely scenario upon the return for Premier League football is that games will be played behind closed doors to limit conditions for Covid-19 to spread at major sporting events.

This could lead to some casual workers going without pay even when the sport returns, meaning there are further difficult decisions to come in the next few months.

Still, the latest gesture from the club will be well received by those concerned about the financial difficulties of coping with the ongoing public health crisis.

Chelsea have also confirmed that they will be providing 78,000 meals to the NHS and charities that support the elderly and vulnerable groups.

Chairman Bruce Buck said, as quoted by the club’s official website: “We are and have always been committed to supporting our communities, especially the vulnerable, and at this time we recognise this is more important than ever.

“Our owner, Roman Abramovich, has been instrumental in challenging us to find ways to support those in need and after we successfully launched the Refuge campaign and made the Millennium Hotel at Stamford Bridge available to the NHS, this was the priority so I am pleased to see it begin.” (Goal)
