Coronavirus: Your workplace questions

Steve Bridger

At this difficult time, we'd like to offer people managers (and others) who are not CIPD Members an opportunity to ask questions about their specific workplace challenges.

We hope that collectively, the Community will feel able to chip in with guidance and signpost support and resources where these exist.

Thank you.

  • I will start it off then :)

    We have 27 people that we hired after the 28th of feb so they wouldnt be on our payroll until the 29th of March as we are a monthly payer, We had to furlough on the 25th unable to claim for these people. The gov site has been updated yesterday to say the following:

    If your employee is on unpaid leave
    Employees on unpaid leave cannot be furloughed, unless they were placed on unpaid leave after 28 February.

    I dont get this one because it also says:

    Employees hired after 28 February 2020 cannot be furloughed or claimed for in accordance with this scheme.

    I would appreciate if anyone in the community has a better understanding of this. We want to try and get these people a source of finance without having to make them redundant.

    I have a similar position having taken someone on early March who wont be paid until the end of March. What do I do with this person?
