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.

    Lucy based on the research I have done today on this and the ACAS website that Keith posted in response to my earlier comment www.acas.org.uk/.../using-holiday - the answer to you question I would think is yes, this will be an extra expense that the business will need to take into account as annual leave will accrue at full time rate.
    I would also be interested to understand how an 80% payslip would look if the person on furlough takes leave during furlough as by extension then it seems that the days that the person is on leave also need to be paid at full rate, so it would also require higher payment than the 80% by the business.
