Furlough Pay

PEOPLE HAVING TO GO TO WORK FOR THE NORMAL WAGES ,SHOULD HAVE BEEN 200 NON WORKERS AND A BONUS FOR THE POOR FOOKERS WHO HAVE TO WORK ..

There is an upper limit on salaries of £2,500 per month, or £30k per year.
The 80% is applied on actual salary up to the upper limit.

Details, details.

upper limit is too high - should be half that. banks should have to freeze mortgage repayments. if you've got a loan on a flash car, etc. tough luck why shpuld the taxpayer have to pay for it.

THE DETAILS ARE 2500 A MONTH EACH ,SOME COUPLES WILL BE RAKING IN 5 K A MONTH ,NO ONE NEEDS THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO GET BY ON , A T ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON ,FOOK THEIR CARS ,WHAT RIGHT HAS ANYONE TO BE CLAIMING SUCH AN AMOUNT ITS SCANDALOUS,ARE THEY BEING BRIBED TO STAY AT HOME ??

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE POOR FOOKERS WORKING FLAT OUT HAVE HAD ENOUGH ,WILL THEIR BE ANY BRIBES FOR THEM ?

300 quid a week is more than enough for food and utility bills. all loans should be frozen until normality resumes.

JEZZA KICKING OFF ABOUT THE SELF EMPLOYED , NO DOUBT MAKING SURE ALL HIS LUVVIE FRIENDS CAN GET THEIR HANDS INTO THE TILL ...

YOUR RIGHT AT  ..... AND AS STATED A BONUS FOR THOSE WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO RISK CATCHING THE VIRUS

WE HAVE MOBS SITTING ROUND MAKING GRAPHS ALL DAY , MEDIA TERRIFYING THE COUNTRY ..

The furlough scheme for employees was announced on 20 March.
It is now 1 April, some twelve days later.

Why has it taken you so long to get all worked up about it

surely the people who are out working will be dropping like flies soon...do we get drafted in to replace them?

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THAT MAKE ?

ITS WRONG END OF ...

WE NEED MASS TESTING GET PEOPLE BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY .WHY SHOULD SO FEW HAVE TO DO SO MUCH ,WHILE SO MANY ARE SITTING AROUND DOING SWEET F.A

REPLY WAS TO ANG ,BLACK ,AND YOU ARE CORRECT , I WONDER IF OUR HIGH ROLLER FRIENDS HAVE THEIR NAMES ON THE LIST ??

POOR FOOOKERS DELIVERING FOR SUPERMARKETS MUST DRIVING ROUND LIKE JAMES HUNT ,ANYONE WITH A MOTOR CAN HELP OUT ON THAT FRONT AND MANY OTHER FRONTS

THEY ARE ALREADY GETTING PAID  ...

My partner has worked all her life in education. PAYE , self employed or agency work , whatever she had to do to earn a living . The continual drop in education funding meant schools are now run as a business so they are run close to the bone and so they rely on agency workers rather than paying holiday pay or sick pay to contracted staff . She was on long term supply util the end of the school year . When schools were closed she was left with no wages and no idea of what would happen . She has now been informed that she is furloughed but has received nothing and does not know how much , when or if she will receive anything .....

Why is there a NEED TO SHOUT

Eyeball she will receive 80% of her basic salary which she is contracted for. Payments due in May I believe: have a read of this

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-for-wage-costs-through-the-coronavirus-job-retention-scheme

An across the board payment was the way to go Eye 300 a week as AT suggested, everyone getting a few quid , its all wrong

These mobs now have the country paying car leases loans etc , loan freezes or cant pay they take the Audi away, get a Punto and crack on with it .....


And a bonus for our front line workers , foooking mobs standing around clapping WALOFS ...

So hopefully your employer will pay their staff on normal monthly due date and claim back from govt, unless of course they are skint, but I would imagine the education board will be able to pay her on due date. Smaller private companies may have to wait till they receive govt payment unfortunately.

Deeplaster , I know what it says but the agencies are still clearing up the details with the government , apparently . They have no idea how much she will get because work is sporadic throughout the year . It is a wait and see scenario......thanks anyway

My Mrs has had to Isolate due to me , Works in Pharmacy she is needed there , Never takes a day off , prob be on 90 quid a week through no fault of her own ,the whole carry on is wrong ...

If she's paid thru an agency that's different, I would imagine it will be some time in May unfortunately as those agencies can be pack of coonts at the best of times allegedly.

are the payments taxable De do you know ?

Daughter and sister in law work for the nhs . None have been tested . One works front line a&e . If it is so dangerous why are they being treated like ww1 cannon fodder . I don't understand . Silly plastic gown and gloves and a dopey mask .

Case - yep pretty sure the 80% pay is taxable (&NI)

Taxed as normal Case, basic less tax free allowance - deductions: tax/NI = net pay.

it wasn't brought in for government to pay EPL football teams workforce, the players could have taken a pay cut to pay other workers,after all their not even playing at the present time

Massive PR boob by Spurs, I heard Brighton are considering the same apparently, not on, Should be up uproar about this, basically robbing all us taxpayers.

Thanks Lads , dreadful EYE my best wishes to them Mate they are not being paid enough ,there probably is not a figure that would be enough ...

Scandalous eyeball.

Norwich also,mike Ashley was a NAP

Spurs should be thrown out the league.

Their stadium would be the greatest in non-league football.

A yank said the other day, its like sending the army into battle with a butter knife.

casemoney is absolutely spot on of course  ....   basic 200 across the board payment  and access to a  no interest loan up to 3k 



like i said before ..this scheme is the biggest hair brained scheme ever  ...now rancid football clubs getting on board


a 10 year old with learning difficulties could see this scheme would be open to abuse. 


low paid workers getting all the **** again,taking all the risks  ...what a sh1t system

companies who want loans cant get loans
million trying to claiming uni credit/job seekers,
non essential workers want furloughing cant get it
million sme,s going under in under a month

meanwhile sunak not seen in a weekstill dpoing a lap of honour down downing street
