  • Other benefits aren’t affected I think pal.    My place are saying to folk we will pay you the extra 20% if you burn a weeks holiday which is fair enough I think and gives folk the choice then

  • Can I request it because trying to work from home with 2 kids is giving me a stress induced heart attack!   

  • Jesus Take the 80% and be fucking grateful that the system we pay into is coming to the party. It's not like we've all got weekends out/holidays/anything at all extra to pay for. It'll cover

So after months without any contact from work I gets a call

can I go in next Wednesday for a meeting on a view to start back 1st week in July but with big changes to my role 

we shall see 

I went to head office for the first ime in 2 months yesterday

H&S guy temperature checked me and gave me a mask on the way in, then one of the girls from accounts gave me a hug (very decent D cups with an arse to die for) and the lad in design high fived me.

Honestly, by September we'll have forgotten all about this.

Employers paying NI from beginning July

This is where the fun starts

My advice would be if you need the money, suck it up and get your CV circulating

I'm already on it

Tbf I’ve utilised the time well making enquires and exploring options

Not much about for the role I currently do without putting some commuting in (always had jobs relatively local) 

easy option would be take some time out which would mean using savings but I need some routine back 

My feelers are being restricted to local

Easily justify a 5k drop for no travelling

Obviously working hours plays apart on how far you will commute but I’m trying to stick to bury/bolton done rochdale way never again

Makes a big difference in quality of life I reckon.

Fucking about for 2-3 hours a day did my swede in.

Funny that, cos the odd time I've done tod through rochdale, it's been a decent run

But its 45 minutes door to door

Prob loads less than many but I've had enough of it and will save a chunk as I mentioned

Course it does mate like I mentioned I’ve never done long commuting in jobs but I’ve worked unsociable hours which also contributes to quality of life.

Used to travel into manc, do the job, come home.

Played 5 a-side on Friday evening, into the pub after for a beer or two.

Usually be pepped up a bit from playing, so didn't really get off to sleep before midnight. Then up at 2.00am to help our kid on his Saturday double milk round.

Would feel absolutely evil all day Saturday, spent time at matches on a different planet.

Not too long after started with seizures.

Fuck that for a game of soldiers

Health & family come first mate 

It’s easier to say now I’m more financially comfortable but over the years I’ve missed out on valuable family time working daft hours 

If there were any jobs going that involve posting sarcastic, twattish comments on the internet all day, we'd all be millionaires.

So it is

Cheers for that

Wonder if you know this

If somebody is dismissed, is notice paid at furlough rate or normal?

Assume accrued holidays paid in full and redundancy up to the weekly statutory maximum?

surely it must be at normal rate........not that I know, but i presume it would be as per the terms of the contract they signed, so therefore "normal" rate

Yeah, but a furlough agreement had to be signed to temporarily vary ts and cs

Might be interesting if they didnt have an end date?
