Site Supporter Winchester White Posted February 10, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 10, 2021 44 minutes ago, Lt. Aldo Raine said: It's not savings as such, but at work we had a new starter who worked for an airline and had been placed on long-term furlough. After he started working with us, he was getting 80% of his wage from his job at the airline and 100% of his wage for his full-time job with us. I didn't think that was allowed?

I know two people who were furloughed who then we've working at Asda. They're both back full time at their original jobs now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 10 minutes ago, Escobarp said: Yep absolutely allowed. Bonkers and taking the piss if you ask me but thats the rules What about working for another employer whilst furloughed? The Government has previously confirmed that an employee who has been furloughed from their current job can take on a new job, provided this is permitted by their contract of employment. For example, certain contracts of employment will provide that an employee must not work for another employer during the course of their employment with the organisation during working hours or without prior written consent. If this is the case, we would recommend that parties agree a variation to the terms of the contract in writing on a temporary basis or that the employer provides that written consent, specifying that this only applies in relation to any period of furlough whilst the coronavirus pandemic is on-going. It is worth noting that there is no obligation on an employer to permit an employee to work for another employer whilst furloughed if this is prohibited by the contract of employment, although the employee would have a valid argument that any alternative work would not be interfering with their work for the furloughed employer, as no such work is required. Not that bonkers, as they'll be paying lots of tax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a big MAD MAX bill coming if isn’t already being hammered? but my own issue is why should someone have the ability to earn more than someone who remained working throughout?

But he will have been hammered for tax on the job with you depending on what he earned at the airline of course. If he hasn’t it’s by error and he’s got a fucker of a tax bill waiting for him when they get to him. @boltondiver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it least worst option? for me people should have been encouraged to go and work for supermarkets and other key sectors that needed additional man power absolutely. Anything else shouldn’t have been allowed other than to make up your wage to the same level as it was pre furlough. But I’m a capitalist pig after all. I just don’t like others having opportunities to earn more money that I’m not afforded Edited February 10, 2021 by Escobarp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything to do with being a teacher as well? I’m the same (moderate asthma controlled with brown and blue inhalers) as are 2 of the kids. Does this apply to me? All of us? Does it count if you’ve been positive? Probably makes sense to have a chat with doctors doesn’t it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
