furlough

[RBH]

Hang on,,,,,, didn't I just read somewhere that you were done with modding?

Im trying to help the poor guy out here

[exclusiv.]

I really thought the government furlough scheme was gonna save more jobs. We we're about the only country to do it but I'm beginning to think some employers have used the lockdown as an excuse to have a clear out. I understand a company that's gone bust it will be hard to hold them accountable but any company making some of it's staff redundant should be made to pay back any furlough money claimed for the employee being made redundant.

the company that was supposedly taking us over pulled out of the deal,only this morning,saying the uncertain future had changed their minds about the deal. our company then called in the administrators about 1pm ,,and I received the news by a poxy email at 3.45pm ….bitter taste in my mouth, is an understatement...25yrs service ,and to be told you've no job,by fecking email....I hope the owner dies ,a painfull ,horrible death,the cnut

So sorry to hear, it's hard times but also changing times and with change hopefully there will be new opportunities. I hope there's opportunity out there for you and the others on here in similar situations. Vent you spleen here amongst friends!

Yes,filled the form in already,,ive 25yrs in,so should get 20 x 1.5 weeks pay,plus 12 weeks notice pay,plus unused holidays....but as the company is now insolvent,we have to claim it through the governments redundancy payout scheme

It’s easy todo I had to do it when carillion went bump.

PWC did ours and it took 4 weeks tops. They even paid us at our uplift rates for the redundancy not our basic

[the gas man]

I was in a similar situation about 10 years ago , I got all money owed in full , plus a 300 pound retainer the company kept in case of damage caused

Can't remember exactly how long I had to wait, but it must of only been a month or two

Well looks like I'm being pulled off furlough and back into work. Just not my usual job and not my usual gym [emoji1787]

That's a brilliant gesture Nick.
