HarryBosch Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Can you pay less than minimum wage? Not much point having one if you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Er isn't that illegal? Won't Bury get punished for it? Or maybe he is talking bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAFC_Ryan Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 The clue is in the word "minimum." He's spouting bollocks (as usual) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudemedic Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I can see his point though, especially if Bury have a long away trip, where the travelling could be classed as work. The hours may well average out over a season though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie_J Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Could it be that some of the very youngest players, who aren't entitled to full minimum wage, are earning less? Regardless, he constantly comes out with statements that show just what a knob he is. I'm glad he didn't end up at BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex_balls Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) 'Minimum wage' is different dependent on age, some of the YTS lads will more than likely be getting paid less than the 'Minimum Wage' of an 18 year old, or 20 year old etc. That's probs the same at most lower league clubs, the guys just making excuses up as he will have a relegation on his resume very shortly.
