ErnestTurnip Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Does an employer go online and make this claim every 3 weeks for their furloughed staff ? So if you were going to unfurlough (if that's a word) someone you would wait until you had claimed for the previous 3 week period and then have em back in and not include them on the next claim OR have em back in whenever and just don't include them on the claim. If that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpey Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Anyone any idea if an employer can do this? Mate has been waiting five weeks for his furlough confirmation and cash and now his employer has sent him a letter saying that he's decided not to furlough, confirmed that he has been released from his contract from his last working day over five weeks ago but will re-employ him when the business opens again. Sounds well dodgy to me. Probably pocketing the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's and actual full time employee then his employer will need to give him his P45 from when he stopped working, so his employer won't be able to pocket the furlough cash. By you saying he's been released from his contract though, makes it sound like he's a contractor? If so, I'm not sure he'd qualify for furlough anyway.

I'd assume the latter, but, sounds like something has come up when filling out the furlough application that's put the boss off applying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazBob Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 As said above, he's going to have to give the bloke his P45 as of 5 weeks ago. If his employer is claiming furlough for him after that date then HMRC will surely rumble him. They'll be all over going after employers claiming furlough fraudulently.
