At least you are being honest at last.
Because you have not said what you think is illegal and that's a hell of a word to use without any explanation as to why you think something is illegal.
In this post are the answers to your questions.Comment

Originally posted by eek View PostNo I'm still at a loss - because all I see is someone who didn't understand how the furlough scheme worked (as evidenced by their first post), has admitted that they don't know how umbrellas actually work (while demonstrating said lack of knowledge in their other posts) and still hasn't explained why they are using the word illegal.
One hint - umbrella can still make money from you while on furlough if they sell you something/service.
Legal people can rule if this legal or it will break the law.
I really dont understand why some people here are trying to defend the brollies in that matter.
It is simple - government fecks up the economy > your gig is fecked up mid term > brolly puts you on furlough > goverment pays you.
The underlined part is where this simple chain is broken now.Last edited by anim; 13 October 2020, 15:01.Comment

To be fair.. Every single great idea that has been flouted on here, bar absolutely none, has fallen over because the OP didn't understand the basics of what they were suggesting and carried on until it became a complete waste of time discussing, even if it had a modicum of merit in the beginning.
There are cleverer folk than us making these schemes up. If a contractor has to dream one up you can bet your house its been thought off and didn't work.
This one isn't going to fly either unfortunately.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Generally however you might be right about furlough in brollies.
One question here (for 0 points really). If a brolly spends close to no time doing stuff for you to earn its' fees, wont it be good gesture to invest 5 mins a month to put you on furlough and dont earn fees during this time? That's is provided there is £0 for the brolly to pay you.Comment
