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.

  • In light of the HMRC update yesterday and in particular the agreement needed to furlough. Some of my clients have a lay off clause in their contracts and some dont. For the ones tht dont we have got the employees to sign a variation to agree to furlough. For the employees that have the lay off clause we have issued a notice of furlough. But I am begining to panic now.

    This is the clause
    Lay-Off & Short-Time Working
    The Company has the right to lay you off and/or place you on short-time working.
    You will not be paid during the period in which you are laid off; however, this does not affect your entitlement to the statutory guarantee pay if you qualify.
