Resignation during furlough - notice pay

Hi everyone,

i thought i had this absolutely clear in my head but I've just been questioned about it.......if an employee resigns whilst on furlough giving the statutory required notice period I believe they should be paid the notice period at 100% of normal pay and not at the reduced 80% furlough rate ......is this correct?

Thanks in advance.

    If the notice had been given to the employer to the employee then would be payable at 100%. However, my thought is that as it is the employee giving notice then if they are currently on furlough and, if they had not given in their notice, would be remaining on furlough during the notice period then notice period is at the furlough rate of 80%.
