Furloughing

[JOK]

That’s right, smoke screen over a typo and ignore the point.  Still, I’ll try again. How much is all this relief going to cost and how are we, repeat we going to pay for it?

You are Diane Abbot and I claim my 50 pounds.

Yet again, the Strawman smokescreen. 

You are the supporter of that racist, innumerate hypocrite not me. I’m just glad she is nowhere near the front benches now let alone in government dealing with this crisis.

Anyway, back to the plot. The world is waiting on baited breath, your answer as to how the British people are going soak up this vast expense and how you justify the U.K. taxpayer paying 100% of all furloughed workers salaries indefinitely.

The wife has just had a call looks like 250 to 500 redundancies at her place so looks like she will have to find another job .

As somebody who employs 23 the furlough scheme was a godsend
My business was wipeout overnight on the 23rd March 

The reality was no customers no money
I paid my guys the 100% for the first 4 weeks after that I managed
To get enough work to get six guys back to work
It ended up costing me extra to get them back as they could get a 100%
For staying at home.

Seven weeks on I still have 16 people on furlough @ 80% because I 
Have know idea as to when or if I can get them back to work.

Sometime in the near future I will need to make the decision 
Redundancy for maybe at least 10 , bearing in mind they have all
Worked for me between 3 & 15 years cost estimated around 120 grand

Question 
would you take a loan out to cover ,when not knowing if you could ever repay it?
Or look at a pre pack Solution.

Now the pre pack solution is not my preferred choice as that brings with
It a lot of other trading difficulties 

But people slagging off company owners  for not making up the 20% really do need to know all the facts ,most of us are responsible people who do care for their employees but this virus is
A real gamechanger.

Well done Hughie, that's where the focus should be, the 'headline stories' are around those abusing the scheme but it's employers like you that should be getting the praise and focus - when do you think you'll be up to pre-lockdown capacity.

Not sure if we can get back to pre-lockdown levels ,in a way the extension of the furlough may hinder the recovery I think the Chancellor May have missed a trick by not introducing the flexibility of the scheme with immediate effect ,but who am I to criticise think they are doing their best in unenviable circumstances.

Sorry to hear that,I fear it’s going to be a tough time for a lot of us in the near future.

You think they are doing their best? Maybe financially but feck me you’re easily pleased with regards everything else! Apologies if I’ve got the wrong end of the stick.

I think they are doing their best from a financial point.
Must point out I am a socialist at heart although I could not
Bring myself to vote for Corbyn last time round.

But I must admit thought the discussion was about furlough and
Not all the merits of this crisis?
