"Under UK law, any employee aged 21 or over must be paid at least 12.21 an hour, which equates to 23,810 a year based on a typical working week of 37.5 hours. An 18-year-old, on the national minimum wage of 10 an hour, should be paid 19,500 if working 37.5 hours a week. The real living wage of 13.45 an hour equates to 26,227 a year on a 37.5-hour week. In London the figure is 14.80 an hour."
"The minimum salaries are a marked enhancement on previous seasons, when for example Blackburn were reportedly paying some players 9,000 a year. The Lancashire club withdrew from the second tier before this season, saying the demands placed on second-tier clubs have become unsustainable. It is understood many WSL2 clubs are comfortably exceeding the minimum salaries and that the vast majority of WSL2 players aged 18 to 20 are at least 15% above the floor level."
WSL2 introduced age-tiered minimum salaries this season: players aged 21 and 22 must receive at least 22,200, those aged 18 to 20 at least 17,500, and players 23 and over at least 26,900. Regulations require a minimum contact time of 20 hours a week excluding matchdays and mealtimes. UK legal minimums differ: employees aged 21 or over must receive at least 12.21 an hour (about 23,810 a year on a 37.5-hour week), while the real living wage is 13.45 an hour (about 26,227 a year). The minimums were set after consultation with the PFA and have been viewed as a significant improvement from previously reported low wages.
