What about furlough fraud? I have just been told by a mate in the construction business that the employer told him they want to pay cash in hand because of how covid is affecting them... let me guess, they will claim furlough, get the workers to keep working and pay them %20 since %80 is covered by the government)
Why else would they ask about cash in hand?

Agreed with Vetran. I feel dirty.

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostFurlough 2.0 will look very different and will cost a lot less if the briefings/leaks are to be believed. You’re looking at a few hundred million per month in wage subsidies vs. several billions on furlough. Unemployment is going to spike bigly either way and larger firms will already have put staff on 45 days notice. The next deadline is 1 October for 30 days, which is what they’re aiming for.
News alert - looks like current furlough scheme is ending anyway.

An investment of a £1-2K retraining as a Green deal technician, security guard, Truck Driver, customs officer, Health worker or IT technician etc. Would be a good idea. I would start with the companies who managed to mis claim furlough.

Customs officer is daft, because Brexit is going to remove red tape.
