I know, I couldn’t believe they suggested painting the place. At first I agreed before they brought In the 80% pay. Because I’m on a 0 hour contract and just wanted to keep working as long as I could. I feel like they took advantage of people like me who knew they couldn’t afford to just be off unpaid, so agreed in desperation.I would stay at home. Not because there is anything wrong with you, but because a) you did have a cough b) Your management are getting a large group of you in a small room - wtf? Don't they listen to the news? and c) Since you are employed and have a contract, the Gov't will pay 80% of your wages, so if your bosses need the place painted they can do it them bloody selves! However, do not approach said management with that cranky attitude, you tell your bosses that you have a cough and need to self isolate for 7 or 14 days. I hope your cough was like mine and just down to dehydration. Drink lots of water today x
I'm not a medical person, and I'm sure you will contact the proper people if you ever become unwell (which I really hope doesn't happen). 0 hour contracts are the worst thing ever invented, in my opinion, but you will get sick pay if nothing else. The Gov't seemed to have pulled out all the stops to make sure nobody suffers during this god awful time, and I am disgusted at your management for taking advantage of you all. Anyway, stay safe, keep clean, and when we get through this, get another job xI know, I couldn’t believe they suggested painting the place. At first I agreed before they brought In the 80% pay.

When they closed all bars/restaurants/cafes ect at end of week I really thought I’d get a message from manager saying we couldn’t go ahead with the painting but nothing yet.
im going to report it to my manager, Thankyou for your advice!
If Spain can close their beaches, there is no reason why we can't shut parks. I'm attaching a picture of my local beauty spot yesterdayWhat we really need is a thick dumping of snow to cause everyone to stay at home for a few weeks.
I really think councils should shut car parks and places like beaches else everyone not working and crowding them with the sun in the next few days could exasperate it.

yes 0 hours are awful, Iv worked there full time for 2 years in April and I was promised a proper contract for this April. Which I assume won’t happen now. Iv always worked hard for them and I feel quite let down, even with their lack of communication thoughout the situation. It was only a few weeks ago I was told by a supervior I was scare mongering because I asked for some hand gel for the till points.I'm not a medical person, and I'm sure you will contact the proper people if you ever become unwell (which I really hope doesn't happen). 0 hour contracts are the worst thing ever invented, in my opinion, but you will get sick pay if nothing else.

Does the Christmas and New Year season just make you like REALLY horny or something?!We have 5 birthdays in October all within 2 weeks of eachother
The Government will only pay 80% of wages if the entire business is closed to everyone and no one is being paid.I would stay at home. Not because there is anything wrong with you, but because a) you did have a cough b) Your management are getting a large group of you in a small room - wtf?

Happy mother's day to all the mothers too, such a strange one for me this year ( probably like for most of us) instead of a nice meal out ect the one son who had to come home because of all this ( he works abroad) we are just going to have a pizza night , cheese and tomato as there was no other pizza left in the shops and cake with a movie , I'm just glad I have company and the other son will just video chat me with his partner while there in London staying homeI’d just like to wish a happy Mother’s Day to all the mums out there! At least it’ll be a memorable one. Do you think we can claim any treats we don’t receive because of the virus when this is all over?!
I've seen oaps lining up outside Sainsbury's waiting for it to open and packed together seems like a terrible policy. There has been shortages of some items, but it's not like the shops have been empty. Mine has been low on the normal packaged bread but loads of other bready options or they have loads of those small cakes for £2 which are about as healthy as jam on white bread anyway.Happy Mother's Day
Just come back from Hyde Park with my 2 boys - went out early and there wasn't a soul in sight.
However, the Asda near me has queues outside already... They don't open until 11am.
Not sure how much longer this can go on for.
I would go in and paint giant rainbows all over the walls with the words "STAY HOME" in street art style.The Government will only pay 80% of wages if the entire business is closed to everyone and no one is being paid.
I'm assuming they are getting paid and no one is painting out of kindness.
The 80 % only applies if the the whole business is shut to all workers. If people are being paid to go and paint and clean then you can't claim the 80% if part of the workforce is still working. The business also has to take you back on when they reopen too.I know, I couldn’t believe they suggested painting the place. At first I agreed before they brought In the 80% pay.

I'm not sure that is true, I heard from an employment lawyer on LBC that a company can choose who is on the retention 80% scheme and cycle it around different employees so the buisness could stay open with less people actually working.The Government will only pay 80% of wages if the entire business is closed to everyone and no one is being paid.
I've just watched a Russian (!) video on YouTube about how to make bread muffins using self raising flour and greek yoghurt. Just in case.....y'know,I've seen oaps lining up outside Sainsbury's waiting for it to open and packed together seems like a terrible policy.
