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 would appreciate some advice please. My employer works in the restoration of classic cars so he is technically a 'garage' and therefore in the essential businesses but this is the only work we do. I do not feel we should be open under the current restrictions but he is threatening all the staff that they will lose their jobs if we close.
    We have two staff members who are in the vulnerable category and have been told to shield themselves. He is refusing to furlough them so they have both been forced to go off on sick pay.
    I would appreciate comments or advice on this. I know, myself what I think should happen but would like to hear from others. Thanks
