Hello all,
We have issued an offer letter to a new employee, with a start date subject to the satisfactory clearance of relevant checks. All checks have now been received and we hit coronavirus just after some thoughts please
1. Can we justifiably delay the start date considering the situation?
2. If we do start the new employee can we furlough them immediately? Thanks
Do you know if we can ask those 'new starts' who commenced after 28 Feb - to go back to their previous employer and ask them to 'rehire' them so that they can get the Furlough payment - I read this somewhere but cant locate the source now.
