Sunak wants employers to pay a quarter of furloughed staff wages from August
Rishi Sunak: is he opening the door for employers to exploit their staff?
Funny how this story comes out when everybody’s talking about Dominic Cummings instead, isn’t it?
This Writer has said before that employers won’t pay – most probably because they can’t afford it.
But here’s a thought. Will employees go back to their old jobs, after being callously laid off over coronavirus?
And if they will, will employers try to get them to do it for lower pay?
I think it’s a definite possibility.
Employers will be expected to pay at least a fifth of the wages of furloughed staff from August, it is claimed.
The Treasury is said to be considering asking businesses to cover between 20% and 30% of staff wages.
Companies may also be told to cough up for national insurance contributions, which are approximately 5% of people’s wages, according to The Times.
