DH works for a business that can reopen. Team of 10 all doing the same job at the same level. 2 were kept on working from home in March as demand was tiny, while the other 8 were furloughed. They’ve been told very clearly not to just show up tomorrow when the business can officially reopen and to wait to be called in. Evidently some of the team have been called in but nothing has been said about who or how they were selected. The amount DH gets on furlough is about half what he would usually earn because of a ballsed up tax code (have spoken to HMRC and it will be fixed but that doesn’t help in the here and now) and how commission is worked out so he really needs to work, but this ‘wait to be called’ makes it hard to pick up a temp job elsewhere (he’s not fussy about what he would do) as the call to go back to work could come at any time.
AIBU to think they should be more open about how people are being picked to go back in, or can employers just do what they like with regard to this?
