    New Forum created - Coronavirus Assistance

    Admin has created a new sub-forum in Business/Contracts - Coronavirus Assistance

    It is for all coronavirus/COVID-19 questions and posts. This will be a central repository for questions and business posts. Hopefully we won't get repeated questions spread across the forum.

    It is a Professional sub-forum and due to his knowledge in this area, PC is provided with special protection. I will ban anyone who looks sideways at him if he chooses to give advice.

    That is all - carry on...

    Hi folks,

    Below is the response from my MP. I am working through and umbrella company. Is it up to them to get my monies sorted out? PAYE I have no idea if I am. I have contated them but they have no answer for me as yet.
    Any advice would be most appreciated!
    Your Umbrella (as your employer) should be your first port of call. What have they said? Do you have confirmation that your current situation is down to Covid? Were you employed by them as at 28/2? Have they said whether they can furlough you and can therefore continue to pay 80% of your salary? Have they said (and have you asked) if that is just the minimum wage element of your salary or the total taxable components?

    Tell us what you've found out so far and we can try fill in the gaps. But, it will need your Umbrella to furlough you, otherwise its Universal Credit.

            Hi there,

            I have emailed my local MP about loss of earnings and this was his reply. Could you please advise.

            Kind regards,

            Stephen


            If you are paid by PAYE you are able to get the umbrella company or employer to claim for you under the Job Retention Scheme.

            If you are self employed there is the self employed reimbursement scheme.

            You can find the info here: Claim for your employee’s wages through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme - GOV.UK and COVID-19: support for businesses - GOV.UK

            The FSB is also very good Coronavirus (COVID-19): Advice and guidance for small businesses and the self-employed | FSB, The Federation of Small Businesses

            If you don’t fall into any of these categories than you can claim for Universal Credit.

            That’s the schemes at the moment.

            Good luck,

            Ian Murray MP
