    Employees on furlough working elsewhere and AL accrual

    She was on furlough in 3 weeks off , 3 weeks at work rotation from April through to end of September as we couldn't do part time at that time, then we had everyone back in from Oct 1st but as she had already found herself this part time job, she didn't return to work a fulltime week. We had...

    We are an event hire business . Everything has cancelled until end of July and every time a medic or scientist stands up and says this will be ongoing - we have another couple of months worth or work cancel. A lot of our work is at the NEC or ExCel .. umm , now they say they are mothballing NHS...

    Another job on furlough??

    Its interesting as furlough seemed to make complete sense when it was announced and all the employees were bouncing up and down at the thought of having a month off. The 80% didn't bother most of them as they are mainly young men with no family commitments so could happily live on 80%. To us as...

    The salary grant - based on February figures submited in March?

    These are my questions - I don't have the answers. We are an event hire business so have absolutely no work and we are likely to stay that way for a good few weeks after the JRS finished anyway . It was clearly designed for shops and so forth that just shut and will open again and hope to pick...
