Casino Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 My mon worked for me before and rejoined us early march Gave up a secure job to do so Quote
MickyD Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Not sure how it works for him then. He was given the job in December. You may recall we had to tell another employer he wouldn't be taking a job with them in January. Anyway, after 3 months of fuck all while some government agency did background checks, he eventually started on 16th March. The hold-up caused because he lived in Germany for just over 6 months three or four years ago. Quote
Traf Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Might have been mentioned elsewhere, but could BWFC and other clubs not furlough the staff & players? That would save some clubs from going under. Quote
Casino Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 No reason not to But as i just touched on, players could say no And walk Where to is another matter Quote
Traf Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 The clubs could top up the extra and surely none would just walk? Quote
jayjayoghani Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 I started a job 16th March, to say the least been a frantic start. Now working from home, hastily had to source a desk and chair off FB marketplace. But wouldn't surprise me at all if I got potted. Quote

Already reckon some businesses will be furloughing staff without them knowing, getting em to crack on 100% and topping wages up so they don't know the government has paid most of their wages. Anyone doing so is a cunt and I hope they get strung out by hmrc! We've had to add a new pay category to sage that states "furlough pay" I'm not sure if this directive came from sage themselves or elsewhere as I don't usually do the wages Quote
Underpants Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Furlough. I never knew this word existed until this week. Quote

ErnestTurnip Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 I was reading through some guidance and some links on legal sites last night because in some way I will be part of how things go at our place and I'm worried that there will be lots of companies who do this incorrectly and end up getting stiffed by HMRC.

Doing a little bit of research it seems it has Dutch and Germanic roots before the US military decided to adopt it. Looks like another example of a word infiltrating, and replacing another word that we had no problem with using. Quote
ErnestTurnip Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Confirmed today for me along with most of the rest of our staff. Anyone thinking of going doing a temporary job or some volunteering while they sit at home bored getting their 80% ? Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Just now, Rudy’s Message said: Will you not get stung with the HMRC It's a funny one this, we need folk to fill in vacancies obviously, but if folk risk having their hands slapped then they will just sit at home. Quote
ErnestTurnip Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 The second job won't have any impact on the 80%, it will obviously have an effect on tax/NI paid though. Some lads at work already have 2 jobs and the ACAS guidelines are that if they get furloughed from both they are eligible for the 80% at both. If someone has more than one job Each job is treated separately. This means they may be able to either: continue to work for their other job be furloughed for both jobs If they’re furloughed for both jobs, they’ll be eligible for financial support for each job.

I read this to mean if you already have two jobs. Not get 80% and go get another but crack on 👍🏼 Quote
radcliffe white Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 2 lads at ours who are furloughed are working cash in hand for a local tax dodging builder suppose end of the day folk have to do what they can Quote

But can’t see many cash in hand jobs around tbh for folk and next week can’t see many people working full stop by sounds of it Quote
Casino Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 If furloughed you can't do paid work for anybody Even your employer It may mean I can't be furloughed as I need to do a few bits so they'll end up paying me But, for what I'm doing, it makes sense to protect the company by 80 percenting me I don't mind doing a bit Can see both sides Quote

Odds are I won't do it anyway as like you I'm going to still be doing a bit and if it goes on for much more than the minimum 3 weeks I'll probably jump on that volunteering thing and go deliver medicines etc Quote
