      If you're not back at work or have plans to return I would be very worried. Those I know who have returned are doing work of those still on Furlough as well as their own at the moment.

        They're not topping it up that's for sure, apparently they've put her down as full time when she's only part time and have done so for a fair few of their staff. Seems like a way to make some money.

          Coronavirus: Pubs 'may need to shut' to allow schools to reopen - BBC News

          Another Sage [Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies] member, Prof Calum Semple, from the University of Liverpool, said there would probably be a second wave of the virus in October and "some hard decisions will need to be made about what restrictions need to be reintroduced".

            So you have 2 choices ....

            1) shrug your shoulders and say meh, not my problem

            or

            2) contact HMRC

            Your current option of whinging to strangers on social media isn't really going to solve the problem is it fella?

Somehow the younger sister-in-law is on full pay from the company where she works even though I explained to the mother-in-law over the phone that they're obviously doing something fraudulent as she should not be getting more than 80%.
              Companies are allowed to top up the furlough money to pay 100% salary. 80% is what companies can claim from the government.

                3/ wait until October whilst desperately looking for a new job, then when they make you redundant contact HMRC.

                  Not just the North, but now a national stop for the relaxing of rules.
                  North of what? UK?

                  Scotland is doing fine. I hope they impose border controls soon, as the coughing caravaners and motorcyclists coming up to stay over in hotels along the NC500 route are already spreading it, unfortunately.

                  There's no need to stay locked indoors, but similarly there is no need to head too far from home for a relaxing break. At least the caravaners and campers hopefully have minimal contact with the indoors, unless they - as I have heard - continue to eat in restaurants and pubs with no separation panels.
