Benfica responds after claims of unpaid staff wages | OneFootball

Benfica explained that all employees who have not yet received the bonus, related to the profits of the Benfica SAD, should receive it by the end of the current month of October. As Glorioso 1904 recently reported, the situation was causing discomfort at the Clube da Luz.

The Benfica SAD recorded profits of around 40 million euros, which led Benfica to pay a bonus to all its employees, amounting to 50% of their gross salary. However, the fact that the youth team coaches had not received the amount created some discomfort at the Seixal Campus.

Jornal Record questioned the club’s officials about the matter, who assured that it was merely a payroll processing issue, but that the situation was already completely resolved. Therefore, Benfica expects to regularize the situation soon.

In fact, the Clube da Luz guaranteed that all employees who have not yet received the bonus will do so by the end of October, thus completing the payment of this extra amount to all club employees, including youth team coaches, who appear to have been the most affected by this situation.

It is worth noting that, although it was merely a payroll processing issue, Benfica employees were never contacted, not even by email, about this error or given any clarification on when they should expect the bonus payment.
