All employees included in furlough. Not just pre 28th Feb
Some employees are not entitled to furlough due to new job changes. Not on PAYE 28th February or before. Please include them within the eligible furlough scheme. If you have a job you should be entitled.
Thousands of people have missed out on the scheme due to starting new work in March. They have paid into the government via taxes for years and due to changing jobs they have been left without. All employees should be entitled to furlough. Everyone deserves help and support in this pandemic.
