Lyon temporarily suspends its players from salary

It's a statement, Olympique de Lyon has announced that it temporarily suspends its footballers from wages and salaries, due to the stoppage of the coronavirus. The French team is the first team in Ligue 1 to adopt measures of this type, and with the aim of reducing expenses in a season in which it is having many losses due to the break in competition.

“Given the measures taken by the authorities to combat the spread of COVID-19, and because all training and competitions at the national level have been suspended, we must announce that we have put all the sports personnel to a partial unemployment and to a temporary suspension of wages and salaries, “reads the statement issued by Lyon.

In France, in the event of a temporary dismissal -a kind of ERTE in Spain, but with different mechanisms-, the State must pay 4.5 on the minimum wage to soccer players. And the difference between the salary left to pay the players (that is to say, in this case 70% since with the State's money it would not be enough), the company, Lyon must pay that remainder.
