You can work for another company though - e.g. furloughed from your job, part-time job stacking shelves in a supermarket, or delivery driver for Ocado etc...

Still 80% on a single income will be a bit shite as I'm very certain others are already experiencing.0 -

Does commission come into furlough figure ?So your basic Pay after tax is 1800 a month but you actually get another 800 a month in bonus/ commission does that 800 get taken into account.0

At least Liverpool have reversed their furlough decision and apologised. Can't help thinking that this is a damage limitation exercise but at least they have done something positive.0

Weird situation here that I thought I could ask advice on... I'm away on sabbatical and was due back to work on 5th May but have pushed that out because of Coronavirus-related travel restrictions and figuring it'd be safer to stay in Canada self-isolating for now... even if I could bag myself a flight.
Can I ask them to put me on furlough from May instead of just extending the unpaid sabbatical?
Edit: To clarify, the reason I was thinking of it is I've still got rent/mortgage to pay in the UK which I'd budgeted to cover until May but will start to get tricky beyond that without an income (not because I want free money!)

Win win, and reduced strain on the public purse.
Mind you I believe ordinary club staff through the leagues should come first.0 -
Work have re-issued the notice with amendments this morning.
It said some roles will continue to be expected to work, some will be furloughed and those that are furloughed will be topped up with an additional 20% covered by our employer. So no loss to staff that aren't allowed to continue working.
I wonder if I do get fur'd I can get signed up as a volunteer somewhere to keep me mentally sharp as that's one of the tougher things in all of this...1 -
I don't understand why any Premier League team didn't wait until all collective negotiations with the PFA failed to reach a conclusion before they jumped on the bandwagon for non playing staff?
I appreciate clubs may have a separate structure for wages and how they run the playing side, to how they run the non playing side, but to just jump on a scheme straight away without waiting until the PFA concluded agreements, and then not trying to pursue individual agreements within their own clubs, seems incredulous and immoral to me.
I am not in the 'footballers must hand over there wages camp', far from it. I just cannot believe the likes of Levy couldn't wait a week or so for the PFA to conclude negotiations, and then isn't able to have productive discussions about what a wage cut may look like with the likes of Mourinho and Kane etc, to support the non playing staff.
I think Spurs have got some good guys in their squad like Kane who would've more than happily done something either individually or collectively to shave a bit of money from their wages to those on the non playing side. Levy hasn't even bothered imo. Just seen it as available and gone for it. I just can't get my head around it all.
@Dazzler21 sorry to read this mate. Tough times. I know you will do everything you can to make it work for your family. As others have said, you're either furloughed and not working, or your working on full pay. Don't let any ratchet bosses think they're getting the best of both worlds here1 -

Just to be clear though, not doing it just for the money, but doing it as a favour to my wife's best friend who is a manager there, half her checkout staff were over 70 and therefore all shielding at home for 12 weeks, many others were parents with young children, so she lost about 75% of the workforce overnight. Also helps to have a reason to get up, get ready and leave the house, otherwise I'd just be annoying the wife who's working from home and playing my PS4 like I'm 15 again.3 -

Yeah we should get confirmation this week on what's happening to our roles. If we do get Furl'd I'll find something extra to do. Even if it's just a couple of days a week.0 -
I believe you need explicit permission from the employer furloughing you to take a “second” job so be careful...0

Great idea @Dazzler21, that is an awesome solution. Hope it works out!0 - Sponsored links:
