@nzzp yup you can be stood down without pay due to CV, and the gov picks up the wages. But they've refused the gov wages too.
SA were up front and gave everyone 3 weeks to either hand their notice in, or accept cuts. Ozzie and NZ have players unions that negotiator on their behalf, dunno about SA.

"Rugby players stood down after agent refuses to take pay cut"
Take a pay cut or you don't have a job. Seems a bit unusual - generally taking pay cuts is voluntary, and doesn't necessarily count against you if redundancies happen.
Still, I"m not an expert in Australian employment law so who knows

@Tim seems crazy. Is that legal?
Entirely - it forms part of their collective agreement through the player's association.

Entirely - it forms part of their collective agreement through the player's association.
So, how can they turn down the pay cut? If you're collectively contracted, and the collective decide on a pay cut, don't you go the same way?
-
@nzzp These are unusual circumstances. I don't know the ins and outs of it either, but if the RUPA agreements cover a percentage of RA's income pie as guaranteed for the player pool, and the pie suddenly shrinks, then what other options are there?

Exactly what they've done - you end the contractual relationship.

@antipodean OK, that makes sense now.
So walk away. Wonder if there is a notice period that has to play out.
cheers fella

That was a deal the Saffa players' unions negotiated, the 21 day clause.

I hope he has a stable job because LinkedIn rants are pretty fast to show up in google searches.

Drunk, or he's been in Oz 30 years and still can't speak English properly ...
I gave up a paragraph in because I really had no idea what he was writing.

He starts a sentence with "And".......which is an error a five year old wouldn't make.
That's the same sort of error people say about split infinitives, ending sentences with a proposition, etc.
And educated people know that.
