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 have a client question I seem unable to get an answer for, either from HMRC (can't get through, nothing specific enough online), Citizen's Advice, Acas or the CIPD factsheets and threads so would appreciate input from the network - and forgive me if this has already been asked and answered:

    Is it possible for workers to be furloughed due to Covid-19 and to also be able to claim Universal Credit? Or does one exclude the other?

    It's a question that impacts quite a large proportion of a couple of clients' workforces, so I'd like to be able to point them towards answers if I can.

    Many thanks in advance, and hope all of you are safe and well.

    Hi Kim, they should not be mutually exclusive - an employee on furlough can claim Universal Credit if they qualify. Here's the gov.uk employee guidance: www.gov.uk/.../covid-19-guidance-for-employees
