Amend implementation of the current 'Furlough' rules from Sun 01/03 to Mon 02/03
Amend the cut off date of the Furlough rules from the arbitrary date chosen of SUNDAY 01/03/2020 to MONDAY 02/03/2020 which is the first working day of the month.
Any new employee starting work in March would have begun employment on the first working day MONDAY 02/03/2020 and would have completed FOUR full weeks of work but because of the current implementation date these employees are not covered by the current legislation and their employers will have been forced to terminate them as of 27/03/2020.
By amending the date by ONE day these employees would be covered by the legislation and not force employers to terminate staff at this period of crisis.
