Liverpool blow their ‘social’ credentials as club furlough low paid staff to take govt cash
April 6 – European champions and runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool were accused of betraying their “morals and values” after joining a number of other top-flight English clubs in furloughing non-playing staff during the coronavirus pandemic.
It follows similar moves by Newcastle, Tottenham, Bournemouth and Norwich to take advantage of the government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, under which employers can claim for 80% of furloughed employees’ wages up to £2,500 to ensure staff on temporary leave received their full salaries.
