The way I understand the way it works is they don’t have to furlough every employee.

Have you tried going above their heads.
These are exceptional circumstances and some people are not understanding people’s differing circumstances.

You should be on full pay if they don’t give furlough.
It’s not a refusal to work. It’s a necessity to look after your wife.

a company can furlough part of the workforce.

Not been watching the daily briefings recently but has anyone managed to get round to asking about flights coming in and out of the UK? Or is grounding flights still seen as populist nonsense?

No those kind of questions are unimportant at the moment.

Doubt it’s that many, tbf. The vast majority of people are doing the right thing. It’s only a tiny proportion of bellends acting irresponsibly.

Sadly Ric its not just "bellends" where I live, families are also doing it, I've seen friends and families visiting other friends and families where I live all weekend, its discreet but its happening. I live in a complex of about 400 apartments, very much of mixed ethnicity, and it's all ethnicities doing it, but some are worse than others, an awful lot of it is down to education, and only some of it is down to a "don't give a f*ck" attitude.

The police had over 100 calls yesterday in our town alone to deal with people not obeying the instructions, but I'd say that is the tip of the iceberg sadly, and they can't even respond to the calls they get, they are patrolling obvious spots, but one story they posted, was they were called to a local beauty spot where 4 people were having a BBQ, but they had numerous calls to this from people who also should not have been at this relatively remote beauty spot in the first place (a NT trust site).

I would think that the likes of Virgin continuing flights to Paris and New York is hugely relevant when there is still no screening process for any UK entrants. One rule some and rule for the rest.

I'm not at work, but our job is essential according to the company. Won't furlough me and it is impossible to keep 2 metres away from public as we work in the street. I've told them it's not that essential that I'm going. to risk it. So am on 94 quid a week ssp. I'll know where my loyalties lie when this is over

That's an absolute joke mate. I'm very lucky as my comoany is ultimately owned by Warren Buffet so my job is secure and i was sent to work from home 3 weeks ago now. My boss is in touch everyday asking how i am and if i must get 25 emails a day from HR about taking regular breaks and checking there are no trip hazards in the house, the room temp is good, ring family and friends etc....just shows the level of some companies standards. My mrs is working from home, she got an txt off her boss saying "i emailed you 6 minutes ago why have you not replied yet!".....she was making a fucking brew!!!!!

I'm not suprised. In fact i think it explains quite a lot to me.

I don't know why, but it just doesn't feel like I'm going to catch corona, let alone a bad case, which is pretty stupid because most of us likely will, and i have at least 2 markers associated with increased mortality rates.

Wow. Talk about us being over confident!!! Have Brits noticed our daily death toll being comparable to that of Italy????

Sorry mate, I’d had a few and was being sarcastic. The lack of decent questioning during this is infuriating.

Yes you are right,
Furlough is only applicable if the business does not have sufficient work for the employee. If people are not on Furlough then their normal terms and conditions apply.
