Hurrah.
Only jokingBastard
Just get into an argument or two on here, then you'll be fineI've got to work 4 X 12 hour night shifts from home. Hard enough in the office but I'm bound to nod off.
After months of trying to persuade my company to let me work from home as I'm the only person based up here I've just had a phone call from one of the directors asking why they're paying £600 a month for an office when I can work at home!
I suspect its far more likely he'll be saving £600!He could save £300 a month and give you a £300 a month pay rise. It would be win win!
Probably ask you to take a cut as you won't have travel expensesI suspect its far more likely he'll be saving £600!
Currently on a webinar ran by Croydon Council where my company has a construction site- they are saying the furlough scheme is risky as nobody has the fine detail, and there will be criteria on who/ what qualifies, but nobody knows what it is. Govt details way too vague... but in fairness a scheme like this would normally take 12 mths to plan and roll out, they are trying to do it in 3 weeks so it is actually understandable.
At work, just compiled a dossier for the bosses on all the govt assistance packages, the benefits & issues plus practical steps employers should take, I'm a bit of a guru on all that stuff now when I would rather be watching The Mandalorian at home.
You can see why people (at this stage anyway) are wary of the furlough scheme and choosing to lay people off.
But this is not a knock on the govt, would usually take 12 mths to roll out legislation like this, they're trying to do it in 3 weeks.
Same as 2am till 2pm.12 hour shift today.
Have you got a link to the actual criteria as I can't find them on the government website which only lists "If you cannot maintain your current workforce because your operations have been severely affected by coronavirus". As I've previously mentioned my company has more work than usual yet has furloughed some staff, myself included, so slightly concerned.Tbe claims the rules are vague, people will not be paid and there will be additional rules placed are malicious lies. The criteria is very clear and most businesses will be laying workers as normal and claiming back funds through the scheme. Many large companies are applying and have had reassurances that the clear and detailed rules of application will not change.
I’m annoyed by ROS and his malicious campaign to try and frighten workers furloughed under the staff retention scheme

The attempt to create fear and uncertainty in these very difficult times is frankly not acceptable. I do employ people who continue to receive 100% pay and all we have been advised meet the clear and explicit criteria set out by the HMRC
I am genuinely appalled at people on social media who try for some curious warped satisfaction to try and suggest rules will be added and companies will not be paid. There are many in one company in particular who have received the distressing news this weekend they are being furloughed and any suggestion of payment doubt (of which there is no evidence) is a disgrace
