Encourage government to make employers pay back furlough wages of laid off staff

Petition Details

Make employers pay back furlough payment to government to all furloughed staff that they have laid off now the scheme has come to an end.

Additional Information

Lots of employers had no intention of bringing back furloughed staff. They wanted government to pay our wages for as long as possible and then say thank you for the money, but that they no longer need to the staff but were happy to take furlough pay off of the government.
