Get 80% pay scheme for those whose contract started after 28/02/2020

Petition Details

Not everyone was in work before the 28/02/2020 but was in work before the job losses due to Coronavirus started. We are left with no help whatsoever.
We are looking to be treated the same as everyone else and get the 80% wage scheme to keep us in line and remove the tremendous worry

Additional Information

Take the worry and stress away from a large portion of the Uk population that seemed to have fallen through the cracks.
Help us avoid poverty due to this lack of commitment to us
I am currently without any money coming in and trying to get onto universal credit is a joke as it’s all jammed

(I’m also not able to apply as due to my job I am posted out of the Uk for more than 4 weeks a year so am not entitled to any help whatsoever even though we pay Uk tax and national insurance )
