Situation:
A very dear friend's OH has had a conversation with my OH which has revealed that their employer is claiming 80% of their wages and "topping" up to 100% so they can work from home. They did say that they had been furloughed.
I'm my head from my own understanding of the financial support available, is this correct? I thought that the 80% was only to furlough staff, but are businesses able to claim their employees wages for them to continue working? I've tried to understand the gov.uk info but it's going over my head. I'm very worried that my friend's OH will be in trouble/liable to pay back if this hasn't been done right and their situation isn't great.
(Yes yes, mind my own business etc. I will as soon as I've got my head around the rules!)
Thank you
