Ensure nobody on furlough receives less than Minimum wage

Petition Details

Ensure that all employees on furlough receive no less than the minimum wage (MW). Employees on MW should receive their full wage and any employees above MW should receive no less than MW.

Additional Information

Under the furlough scheme minimum wage workers, many of whom already struggle to get by on their full wage, have still had their wages reduced to 80%. For example a worker aged 25+ being paid the £8.72 MW would see this reduced to £6.98. This risks increasing poverty and should not be allowed.
