Working for another employer whilst furloughed...

Amanda Jane Roberts

Good afternoon, 

I have just been asked if an employee can work elsewhere in order to top up his pay to 100% whilst being furloughed. The only information I can find is that the employee should not work for his employer during this period but cannot find anything that says he cannot work for another employer. I suppose potentially the employee could earn quite a lot of money if he were able to work full time for another employer as well as receiving 80% of his normal pay?

I would appreciate your thoughts.

  • Hi,

    I have a similar question. An employee works for us 3 days per week, and has another job 2dpw. The 2dpw job will be furloughing her, she’s now worried that she will have to stop our work. I can’t find anything saying yes or no. I assume that as they were existing jobs (rather than new ones to provide top-up salaries) she can continue with us, but I can’t say yes for sure.
