What's the chances that it's a business employing people under s
t conditions, at way below minimum wage, probably people who have questionable legally to work and which hasn't even told those people they are on Furlough?
the outbreak in Leicester was traced to a clothing manufacturer who paid 3.5 per hour. I think everyone should have got a minimum wage payment, as the poorest had no choice except to work even if ill.t conditions, at way below minimum wage, probably people who have questionable legally to work and which hasn't even told those people they are on Furlough? mike74 said:

I am amazed that it is allowed. Someone who is furloughed comes into another industry and takes money out of the pockets of longstanding employees in that industry whilst receiving money from the government to do so. It is causing great resentment where I work.
There was an article back at the start of lockdown featuring an airline pilot on furlough who had gone working as a supermarket home delivery driver, the article was praiseworthy of his ''can do'' attitude and he was even quoted as saying he was doing it just to keep himself busy as much as anything.So not only are taxpayers paying 80% of his existing very high salary he's also earning more money elsewhere and depriving someone with possibly no income at all of the opportunity of much needed work.

Of course it's doable, he simply has to liquidate some of his no doubt substantial assets that he will have accumulated whilst earning £90k and downsize appropriately.
I believe it's called cutting your cloth accordingly.
Aren't most pilots in massive debts? I believe it's called cutting your cloth accordingly.
Would be great if life could be distilled down to so simplistic thinking, but it rarely does in reality.
