He's a HGV mechanic for a main dealer, half of the workshop has been furloughed but he has been chosen to stay on, however, they have changed his hours to a day shift so not getting his shift pay which is abit cheeky as they are main dealer and I'm sure they can afford it. He's working his lunch breaks etc as they are so busy and he's tempted to ask to be furloughed depending if the shift pay is Included. They have brought one person back from furlough and just hired another manager who starts in a couple.kf weeks on 60k.He should do if its his normal hours. Have they been talking about closing? My partners works getting the mechanics back in. A few a week. Think they are upto about 8 and there is about 30 mechanics (including some apprentices).
