JoeLatics Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Surely ballboys and mascots are volunteers? I'm all for paying interns, but surely to God these people don't count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should pay expenses (surprised they didn't, doesn't seem very fair that!!) but treating ball boys as employees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudemedic Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Ballboys and girls, provided they are not old enough to leave school don't count as there is no minimum wage for that age group. That makes that Swansea ball-boy situation even more interesting as he was 17. As to the rest I'm not surprised, lots of clubs must come close with some of their playing staff, especially after long away trips, so for mascots and other staff to be in breach doesn't surprise me.

rudemedic Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Leaving age is now 18 ;-) Not in terms of minimum wage it isn't. Plus the Swansea thing was last academic year when it was 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
