I was furloughed April-July, and have now been refurloughed.
The three of us are working the "lockdown" on a rota (a third each), I've been in since the beginning and will be ending my stint, close of business Friday 13th, then I'll be put back on furlough until the end of the lockdown, unless we all of a sudden get busy (extremely unlikely), then I'll have to go back in.

Have any on here that were furloughed and then made redundant been re-hired to be put back on furlough?
No. A co-worker of mine asked and was told no chance. There was an interesting discussion on the radio a few days ago about the furlough scheme was extended but there are all these people who were made redundant as it was originally ending in October and the extension wasn't announced in time for them to be kept on, awful if you are in that situation.

Is that because it's going against the official furlough rules or is it the company saying that they don't want to?

Companies are going to have to have made some tough decisions, unfortunately, and delay by the government hasn’t helped.There was an interesting discussion on the radio a few days ago about the furlough scheme was extended but there are all these people who were made redundant as it was originally ending in October and the extension wasn't announced in time for them to be kept on, awful if you are in that situation.
I imagine once you’ve made a redundancy payment there are various complications to taking someone back on. If nothing else, I think the payment would need to be repaid due to the tax implications...
Not sure if it’s allowed, we’d been paid our redundancy money on the Friday before the extension. It would have been nice to stay on but ultimately our roles were never going to be required in the medium term. Better to crack on finding something new and putting furlough and this year behind us.

Mr Lewis confirmed it...https://themanc.com/trending/martin-lewis-confirms...
Couldn't find anything on the HMRC site though but it's on there somewhere most likely
I've been furloughed for this period from 5th Nov - 3rd Dec (hopefully going back then anyway).
I've only just received any details of this as I work for a lazy unprofessional business and the letter I've been sent looks ridiculously generic like they've just printed off the Gov website. They couldn't even be bothered to put what my current salary is or what I'll get paid on furlough, simply that I'll get 80% of my salary.
Anyway, it does say this at the end and I wondered if the bit about repaying the company through future paychecks if the Gov want their money back is the norm?:
My colleague who is still in work has also suggested that if he or the other remaining worker get sick I will be expected to immediately come off furlough and cover them, though again this isn't mentioned in my letter and I'm not sure how it would work. I assume they would be required to give me sufficient notice of a return to work (not sure what sufficient would be but ideally more than the hour or two I'll.nondoubt get).

It's a golf club and they're ridiculously old school/lazy about anything to do with paperwork, contracts and so on. It works in our favour sometimes as things can be fairly relaxed and flexible but having worked for quite a few companies, big and small,who operate efficiently and professionally I do struggle with the whole 'not having a f
