I used to work for a pub chain (friends still do) and they paid furlough based on average hours over the course of a year or their current employment (if less than a year).Quick question on furlough
Have a situ where possible furlough staff could be earning more than current working staff if we take into consideration overtime (currently paying 40hr 80%)
Feel like it’s a v difficult awkward stance morally as we need as many staff working for when our industry picks up (in the next few weeks) but if they realise they’ll get more furloughed than working then I think they will not (understandably) be happy
I think Carrie attempted to cut Boris’ hair while he was convalescing?!

On the gin already?I think you will find he's my Rishi I saw him first.....or was that Raab?oh fuck knows!
surprisingly not. Is it too early to start?This is going to sound so stupid, but how has that situation arised?
If furloughed staff are only being paid 80% but other staff are in work and on usual wage + overtime... Surely they're taking home more pay for being in work?
Or am I missing something?
It is the businesses decision though, so if staff need to be in work as a functioning business then they have to be in. If they're isolating then they need to switch to SSP and if they don't want to be in then they can discuss unpaid leave.
Its a case of lump it for the majority unfortunately but it makes for awkward atmospheres

Never to early when your in lockdown! I mean what time even is it at the moment??surprisingly not. Is it too early to start?
More importantly what day is it?Never to early when your in lockdown! I mean what time even is it at the moment??
because business is quieter. we work in transport so they work 40hours and anything over 40hours is paid overtime - usually we are busy so they can clock up more, but because we need to tide over, so the guys who are working are taking home a couple of hours overtime at most, whereas if those who are furloughed (Which we have done as goodwill due to shielding) could take home more of average hours are paid if you see what I mean?This is going to sound so stupid, but how has that situation arised?

I'm classed as extremely vulnerable (shielding etc) and I struggle to get a delivery. I had one last week and can't get another one now until next week. Even then that was due to luck. It is not easy at all to get a delivery slot.And?
Vulnerable people have more than enough in place to be able to get delivery slots and things delivered to them.
If the slots online are available to you and me, then she should be able to use them without curtain twitchers getting so worked up about it.
Mind your own business.
Why on earth are you so bothered about it? Surely to god you've got yourself and your own family to worry about.
have you called Tesco to ask? My mum did, and she gets a slot a week now. They put you as priorityI'm classed as extremely vulnerable (shielding etc) and I struggle to get a delivery.

I have not but I will do so, thank youhave you called Tesco to ask? My mum did, and she gets a slot a week now. They put you as priority
I thought the extremely vulnerable who are being asked to shield were being delivered government food boxes?I'm classed as extremely vulnerable (shielding etc) and I struggle to get a delivery.

I haven't received anything, my neighbour with terminal lung cancer recieved his first government food box today.I thought the extremely vulnerable who are being asked to shield were being delivered government food boxes?
Plenty of people in here have had good experiences calling/ emailing supermarkets and getting a slot for elderly relatives, try that.
Completely agree. We've had to rely on family some weeks as we just can't get a slotI'm classed as extremely vulnerable (shielding etc) and I struggle to get a delivery.

I didn't think overtime was included, isn't 80% of contract?because business is quieter. we work in transport so they work 40hours and anything over 40hours is paid overtime - usually we are busy so they can clock up more, but because we need to tide over, so the guys who are working are taking home a couple of hours overtime at most, whereas if those who are furloughed (Which we have done as goodwill due to shielding) could take home more of average hours are paid if you see what I mean?
I have a feeling we are being too kind to offer furlough for shielding when SSP is fine for that situation
Have you not received letters and texts from the Government about it? My friend is shielding and she's constantly receiving info. She has had the NHS volunteers ring to ask if she needs her shopping doing?I haven't received anything, my neighbour with terminal lung cancer recieved his first government food box today.
Why is it the fault of the furloughed staff that the employer has cut pay for those still working?Quick question on furlough

depends on your contract, they have changed their wording and have allowed commission and non discretionary overtime to be included.I didn't think overtime was included, isn't 80% of contract?
SSP is fine for shielding?! The government has ordered them to stay home for 12/17 weeks and you think £94 a week is enough.... am I missing something?
