Crimson Dynamo 128 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 If they signed contracts that entail this. Then Rangers are contractually obliged to honour them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 How on earth are they self employed 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardyGuts 6 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 How on earth are they self employed Could they be contractors?... in which case you don't get holiday pay or pension or any of the normal add ons. Would also fit with the fixed duration of a footballers contract. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 4,808 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Surely if the club are refusing to pay the 'HP' then they must have in their legal opinion, grounds to do so. Football is a profession where in the main games seem to dictate when a player will be 'busy' and there is little scope for an individual to seek 'time-off' outwith what would be downtime for the squad as a whole. If within International breaks during the season the footballers are given say 5 days off, would that count as 'holiday' ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMazza 0 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I suppose it depends on how the contract is worded. I can't see how football contracts are anything close to your average ones, but anywhere I've worked, if you have accrued holidays you haven't taken by the time you leave, then you are paid for them in your final salary. Of course, if you've taken more than you've accrued that is also removed from your salary. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 No as they can't send someone else along to play when they are injured. They are employees. Not only that but as the club would be their sole "customer" this also lends itself to being subject to Schedule E tax.... Which is tax as an employee 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
