If they pull you off before that then the government won't pay the 80% so they become responsible for paying you 100% of your wages for the period. They could pressure you to use annual leave for some of those days in that event, but that would be what's known in employment law as a dick move. e: 2006 - Charles Kennedy resigns as leader of the Lib Dems to focus on passing the bar.

There is a notice period and also they need for you to have been furloughed for a minimum of 3 weeks to be due the money from the Government. I feel like a doofus by using most of my holiday so that I get a full month pay this month having been furloughed in mid April. I should have just survived on 80% pay so they would need to pay me my holiday when I likely get made redundant in June.

I'm more just worried that we are 1) Very much at the bottom of the pile for when it comes to reopening and 2) We are probably going to close again the second the next big spike of Covid cases take hold.

Another point to consider RE- furloughing. Restaurants/Clubs/Bars will more than likely remain closed for longer than other businesses, and be subject to strict operating guidelines eg I've seen talk of capacities locked at ~30%, Strict social distancing required, not to mention I'd hazard a guess that most of the public save for the "give me freedom or give me covid" crowd will be wary of restaurants/pubs/clubs for the foreseeable future. Unless there is an extension of the furlough scheme past June I'd anticipate a huge uptick in layoffs/redundancies. *edit* My workplace had already cut opening hours, cut daily staff from 18 down to *5*, was offering Holiday hours to all staff, 3 weeks before lockdown Melissa McCarthyism fucked around with this message at 11:13 on Apr 24, 2020 |

I think there is going to have to be an increase to the Furlough scheme. Because I think that the Tories don't have the same willingness to lead people off a cliff as the Republicans do. The more I think about it, the more the Tories just seem like they rule only by "what is less likely to get me shouted at" rather than trying to do anything. I think it's a pathology that might have quite a rich strain inside of our political and social spheres.

Melissa McCarthyism posted:Any furloughed staff here? My employer has just sent us all information about our upcoming pay and I'm curious if anyone else has received similar correspondence. This is more or less my deal - I work part-time and my hours changed each quarter, so I'm receiving an average from the last 12 months (then they're topping it up), and just had an email saying that they're going to extend it for a month and review it as we go on. I'd say they are a good employer and I'm using my furloughed time to write up a wee pitch document about how I can do my job remotely should it come down to 'ah get t'gently caress' and I'll be like 'ah but, however!'

Four Tet is so loving good. I also really enjoy Jamie xx's sets and Bonobo I will say that I am getting back into music a lot more now that I'm grounded. When you run out of other distractions and realise you're stuck for the long term music can be pretty immersive

You can still do all of that you just have to wear SCBA while you do it. So presumably the latex clubs will do quite well out of the arrangement.

How much is everyone managing to survive on in terms of money spent on food? I've worked out that even with beer money I can usually do about 10 days on 50 pounds.

£5 a day with beer included seems pretty good. You could probably get it lower if you really wanted to but if you hate cooking then it's probably gonna be miserable.

I was spending about £10 a day at the co-op near me as there's no other shops, but its getting ridiculous. I'd try to get a few bits then think I should buy more as I'm at the shop then the whole thing is just getting silly. It's a 5 mile walk to the nearest other shop (Lidl) so I'm going to start doing that weekly instead. Before the lockdown I was spending about half that, maybe less.

Same, but I’ve also noticed that some of the local small supermarkets have a limited selection of stuff, which COINCIDENTALLY is limited to the premium stuff. Tesco finest rather than value etc. I’m sure that’s not intentional at all.

Between not eating out/pubbing, and doing a lot more actual cooking rather than relying on ready meals, I've saved almost 300 quid over the past month which is... startling.
