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.

  • Accruing Annual Leave during Furloughed Period:
    Clearly the accrual of annual leave is an additional cost that employers will have to take into account if at the end of the furlough period the outcome is redundancy - could anyone confirm that I have this correct? I appreciate the government has put in measures to allow people to carry over leave for two years, but in the event of a redundancy, would the only option be to pay accrued AL at 100% wage? Thanks.

    I think you are right Lucy, that's how I've read it. The other option we considered is to ask staff to take leave during furlough but the guidelines are silent on whether this is acceptable or if going on to a period of annual leave will "break" the furlough. Or if they can take leave during the furlough, what rate is it paid out, normal pay or furlough rate...? I'm keeping a constant eye on guidance...
