Make it compulsory businesses furlough staff made redundant/unable to find work
Make furlough compulsory for any employe on a company’s PAYE during the gov dates set.
Alternatively, if rejected by employers, make it possible to apply directly for the scheme.
Currently the furlough scheme allows businesses to make the decision if they will furlough. Meaning many ex employees having left due to redundancy or for a new job, which fit the government guidelines, are being told no! This crack in the scheme means many have been left without any financial support.
Your help should NOT be the decision of ex employers, it should be compulsory! Or an alternative form of application to scheme should be available.
