Furlough

[centurian]

Only 2 weeks, just annoyed that they tell me now when I could have arranged a holiday or something had I known.

They've forced this on the project guys and included me when I'm one of only 3 people offering out of hours support over the Christmas period, I don't think they realise yet.

On the flipside the sudden nature of it virtually assures your safety from an IR35 investigation. Blows apart any claim by HMRC of MOO.

I think if any company said that I had to take a furlough or an enforced break I would make sure that I implemented something that ****ed up after I was off for a couple of days and wait for the call...with an emphatic 'no' when asked to come in.
