You have my sympathy. My new job started last week and now I'm laid off, too. The social isolation bit sucks, too. It's a worry but it will come to an end and we can all have fun making up for lost time. Chin up, we'll get through this.

It may not be in your current career but it’s money.

It’s one of the shitty realities of all this that job losses and recession is inevitable.

My sympathies are with anyone that’s lost their job, I’m freelance in my profession and I’m fully expecting to have some very tough months ahead.

I do keep reminding myself that I could be worse off, I have my health and my beautiful penis which I’m both very thankful for.

To anybody that has lost their job today my heart goes out to you all it can’t be easy for you.As has been stated on this thread supermarkets are hiring and so are their distribution centres please consider it as a short term measure until you get back on your feet.Also don’t be ashamed to claim Universal Credit or Jobseekers Allowance contribution based.Each time you claim benefits your national insurance contributions are paid by the government so when you get to pension age there shouldn’t be a shortfall in your state pension

It doesn’t mean everyone made redundant will get paid 80% of their wages. It means if companies temporarily lay off workers but don’t terminate their contracts then the employer can claim a grant for 80% of their employees contracted wage to enable them to pay them 80% still. Plus it’s the employers choice whether to top up themselves the extra 20%. The point is it will keep people employed technically so when we come out of this they can still have jobs and the employers will then be Able to revert back to paying as before. It can be backdated also to 1st March. So if you were laid off in last couple weeks talk to your employer and if they are willing to take u back on u can receive this 80%

Yes it’s an incentive for employers not to make staff permanently redundant and as it can be backdated it should mean a lot of people who have been made redundant by twitchy fingered employers these last couple weeks can be sorted also. As an employer I was pretty impressed really by this initiative. I’d been holding back making any staff redundant until I saw what the government support would be but now I can temporarily lay off, make up the additional 20% and keep all staff on full money until the economy picks up. Win win

"80 percent.yes that is right. Fingers crossed your job will now be safe.

Only available for salaried people. !! Mr Sunak said he’s used this to be available for the majority of people!!! So us on paid per hour are fooked.

Yet people who are on salaried pay and probably being paid anyway are ok. !! Thanks for that "

Nope I'm hourly and im.getting the 80 ,%

"I dont no yet what's happening I've to be informed yet whether they gonna pay me the 80 percent

They have to. Its government money, not your employers.

The employers have to claim it though. Hopefully they will!

They will have to through PAYE. It will be a legal requirement.

Oh good. I wasn’t sure about that bit x

Well I have assumed that bit...Oops

HMRC know who is on PAYE so I am assuming the employer won't have a say in it.

I don’t think it’s automatic to everyone though. Surely employers who are still running ok will be paying as normal? I assumed it’s just for businesses that are struggling to pay?

That part isn't clear actually. Hopefully we should know more very soon.

It’s very ambiguous, people who are on a salery. , what happens for us hourly paid ? But on a contract?

Hope those that have been laid off get something soon, even if it's 80%. My shop is looking like it's going bust, so but it's only 2 wages, I guess being a lowly partner means I've lost my paddle up this shit creek

No, the 5 week wait and the appointment in the job centre have been scrapped, it's immediate. Also speak to your employer as they will be able to give you 80% depending on how you were finished.

This shouldn’t make a difference to whether your employer can claim the 80% grant. As long as you are/were in employment on 29th Feb then this can be implemented if you employer does it. If u wanna message me direct with your actual predicament then I will give u my advice. If your employer isn’t going under then he’s gotta be a lot of an arsehole if he/she doesn’t do this for u

A grant is a form of government aid and doesn’t need to be paid back. A loan is an entirely different thing. They are also offering loans but that has to be paid back although they will cover the interest for first 12 months plus any up front fees charged by the lender.
