Crystal Palace FC to pay employees during coronavirus outbreak

By magic

March 19, 2020

Crystal Palace Football club chairman Steve Parish says all employees will receive full pay during the coronavirus outbreak.

Premier League football has been postponed until the weekend of 4 April.

Parish said in a club statement that staff would not be placed on statutory sick pay for health issues relating to Covid-19.

He also promised that match day staff who have lost work because of the suspension of the league will not be disadvantaged financially.

The Premier League is scheduled to meet on Thursday to discuss the next steps in response to the virus outbreak, which has claimed the lives of 71 people in the UK. The English Football League will meet on Wednesday to talk about the impact on their clubs.
