Coronavirus: Your workplace questions

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.

  • Am I right in saying that we are able to furlough employees for as long as we want (4 weeks, 5 weeks etc) as long as we are furloughing them for a minimum of 3 weeks and not breaking this furlough period.

    We sent a letter saying we were furloughing them for a minimum of 3 weeks at which point it will be reviewed.
