Create a scheme like JRS to those who have been made redundant due to Covid 19
Create a scheme to mirror the generous Job Retention Scheme to those who have been made redundant due to the covid 19 pandemic or create justice for employers that ignored this despite being understaffed in the first place.
Many thousands have been made redundant due to covid 19. Redundant even when roles are very much needed! Employers making these redundancies in spite of the JPS. This will result in nationwide debt as many are not entitled to universal credit. Some companies have made staff redundant AFTER JPS was introduced and would have been eligible for the scheme being employed with them prior to 28th February.
