Another example is a local church has furloughed their youth workers on 100% pay. This means they are not allowed to do volunteer work that is part of their normal job. So other people in the church are volunteering to do that instead because their work is if anything more valuable right now. Which seems rather contrary to the intent of the rules but understandable... many companies WOULD claim furlough grants then expect workers to 'volunteer' to do their regular jobs <cough Sports Direct>
Isn't it kinda like hairdressers furloughing themselves so parents are having to cut the kids hair. The parents are volunteering to do what the hairdressers/can't won't?
Obviously none of the youth workers can come near the volunteering work. That's cutting it a bit fine in theory I'd say.
