Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

As I said proportionate. The monthly rate you have been recieving divided by the number of days in the month and multiplied by the number of days you were entitled.

I'm confused by your reply, you seem to be kind of half explaining without a decent description, or I'm just being thick :LOL:, by "receiving" do you mean furlough pay or regular wage?

Pick an answer below...
So you earn £130,000 p.a. which is nicely rounded up at £2,500 a week.
You furlough for the first week in May then are back to work. Do you...

A) Get the full £2,500 for that first week as it's on the £2,500 threshold, then normal wage (also £2,500 a week).
B) Get £500 for the first week as it's 5 days work based on a 5 week month, then go back to your normal wage of £2,500 per week.

Answers on a postcard to...

If their 80% takes them over 2500 pm, they're getting less than 80%. In that scenario they would get 80% of their normal, unfurloughed income from 1st to 11th (if that's under 2500) then go to normal pay.

So answer C) then which I purposely left off :LOL:

1 weeks pay at 80% of £2,500 then back to normal wage for the rest.
What we didn't know is if there's a time limit on earning the maximum of £2,500, so you could get to the max withing 2 weeks if you get my drift?

The max payment is £2500 per MONTH

I was paid a bit more than I was expecting this month, bank holidays form part of my holiday entitlement and holidays are paid in full :)

The monthly rate you are recieving through furlough is a maximum £2500 , the actual amount can be anything up to this.
If in a final month you restart work partway through a month your furlough pay will be a proportion of the monthly furlough upto the day you restart. I dont see the problem.

I'd say that's different and much more vague to some other replies.
From my previous post is the answer a, b or c?
 
Isn’t furlough at least 3 weeks?

Also, while the government compensated to 80% or £2500 (whatever is less) your employer can always bump it up to 100% from their own kitty.
We get paid the 2.5, but we get bumped up to at least 60% if 2.5 is below that.

Bugger

Turns out my "wobble" on Thursday may be more. Got sent home. Hit me like a freight train when I got in. Sick, upset stomach, and then fought a fever for next 24 hours. Managed to get a test, ironically at Ascot racecourse. Just had a phone call and "inconclusive" so got to go and be retested tomorrow. Been taking paracetamol regularly and fever has reduced but not got dry cough and test tight when I do but hoping that's the strain of throwing up. Blood sugars through the roof too.

Part of me naturally hopes this isn't the virus but it then begs the question what would come on so quickly. One of the main symptoms seems to be sudden onset. Hopefully the test tomorrow will confirm one way or another Been sleeping on and off since Thursday afternoon but thinking may be dehydrated which accounts for the spike in bloods. Any which way not feeling tickety boo but managed to get up and eat a little

Any update on your 2nd test Homer?
 
Any news on @HomerJSimpson ??

Hit a low last evening. Was banking on closing a sale last night.. would keep some of the guys busy next month. Apparently someone somewhere decided to not go ahead due to cv19.. pesky virus.

Sat at my desk and looked out of the window for about an hour. At some point my mind must be blank. The only good thing i did was not to ‘have a drink’ .. that is a dangerous spiral. WFH seems to have increased alcohol intake - happy hours all day

What's people's general feeling about a tracking app like the one brought in in Australia?

Not bothered either way. My phone has been switched on 3 times in the last 4 months. When I've gone out shopping during lockdown. When I worked my phone almost ran my day. I'm retired and don't need it.

If they're going to use it to track my movements other than to do with C19 theyre going to be very disappointed...

seriously though. i wouldn't care less if they did use it for other purposes. I'm not doing any harm so they can track me all they want. until I commit a crime then all bets are off
