7 duties of a company director
Promoting the success of the company
The duty states a director must act in a way that they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members (shareholders) as a whole. When making decisions, directors must also consider the likely consequences for various stakeholders, including employees, suppliers, customers and communities. They should also consider the impact on the environment, the reputation of the company, company success in the longer term and all of the shareholders (including minority shareholders).Comment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostWould running payroll also be in that category i.e. you want to make sure everything is no a standing order?
Now, isn't this all a case where having someone else (e.g. spouse) as company secretary or unpaid director is actually quite beneficial? They could do all these sorts of things living you no requirement to do anything (officially).Comment

The restriction is against revenue generating activity. I could tweet 24/7 for a year and no payments will be made.⭐️ Gold Star ContractorComment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostSo a director keeping in touch with clients and furloughed employees would be reasonable in your view?Originally posted by northernladuk View PostEmployees of course. Clients could be problematic. The minute you start talking about work it could fail the test. You could ring them, ask if everyone is safe and chat about your situation but making any kind of arrangements or chatting about the service is beyond a directors basic obligations I'd say.
I think the test I'd apply is whether something I did directly or indirectly earned income for the company, even if that income was received after the furlough period. In my view, that crosses the line into fraud (not necessarily on a legal level) as I'd both be earning income and claiming benefits for the same period of time.Last edited by Paralytic; 17 April 2020, 07:39.Comment

5.25 when he gets to the conflicting advice from two gov depts..
Designing advertising leaflets and posting future jobs on line. He might have got conflicting advice but that's not grey at all surely. One is a role someone carries out in the business for purpose of creating revenue in the long run. Nothing like the basics of a directors duties.
He's also said it's probably acceptable in the bigger scheme just as paralytic says.
Interesting comments about going freelancing and not running it through your business though. Might work for some but sounds open to abuse to me.Last edited by northernladuk; 17 April 2020, 12:43.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
