Government to pay up to 80% of wages if employers keep staff on
Business will no pay no VAT this 1/4 to aid cash flow (but they have to pay it by end of financial year)
Have a child with special needs, at a special needs school.
Whilst that's meant to be open, conveniently it seems all staff decided to self-isolate on the same day.
Or maybe they are at risk or their families are?Quote:

Even those that wanted to stay were told to self isolate.

How does this work in practice? We’ve been put on a 4-day week (80% of salary). Can my employer now lay-us off, take us back on again and get the government to pay our reduced wages (up to the maximum caps announced)?Quote:
