Base furlough payments on 2019-2020 PAYE details on an average monthly basis.
The Governent needs to treat every furloughed employee equally, irrespective of when they started, based on past earnings. The current system does not allow for commissions to be considered only salary, and as most commission based workers are on a low salary, this will cause severe hardship.
We've all been instructed to stay home to protect the NHS. All non essential buisiness have closed furloughing their staff to protect their jobs and the companies. It's only fair that everyone is treated the same with the furlough subsidies.
