Championship club, Leicester City, have apologised to staff after they were informed they would not receive their salaries until after Christmas - reversing a policy the club have always followed in recent years. According to Daily Mail Sport, an email sent to all staff said that the decision had been taken to pay staff on December 31. The usual date for salary payments is the final day of the month, but in the past, Leicester had brought this forward to allow staff to bank their December pay cheque before Christmas. The policy applies to all staff at the club, including players and management. Leicester insists that the decision does not have any relation to the clubs financial position, which they say remains stable. There is, however, thought to be significant unhappiness across the club with how little notice they were given about this move.

In previous years staff would expect to have been paid either on the final Friday before Christmas or the final working day before Christmas. It read: I recognise that the earlier payment has become a valued tradition for many colleagues, and it is regrettable that I have been unable to relay this with greater notice to allow more time for your personal financial planning over the festive period.
