How did your first month of furlough pay look?

[JustPickleRick]

Did anyone elses pay look depressing?

Still waiting for it

Yes still waiting also 🙏

I'm very fortunate to be paid 100%. But obviously no expenses. A drive a lot for work so a few hundred ££ down. But not using my car so it is sort of balanced out.

Mine was normal, work topped up the remaining 20%.

Not as bad as expected. I'm under the cap and then tax NI And pension were adjusted accordingly so net pay I wasn't down too much

My DS normally earns £1500 per month and today he was paid £1200.

Grand, thankfully we just save mine, so no real impact.

Well apart from the 20% reduction.

I'm glad it's worked out okay for most of you. Think I just did my maths wrong with mine lol

NI was paid, so that is state pension still trickling on, but as I only work twenty hours, I paid no tax.

Isn't it either 80% or 100% depending on emplyer?

I’ve been told not to expect mine until it comes through from government!

I'm on reduced hours to 80% not furlough, I'd done my sums right so no big surprises thankfully.

@Wendalicious I don't think they can do that?

£250 down, but thankfully it arrived as normal. Still paying tax, NI and pension. I tried to drop my pension for this month, but it was all a bit complicated so I left it.

I get paid mid month, so my employer has to fund payroll without knowing how easy/difficult getting the money back from HMRC would be.

@Wendalicious I don't think they can do that?

They can I’m afraid. Our employer was not able to pay us in advance, so we agreed to wait. However, he got the money from HMRC 5 business days after applying so we were actually paid a day or 2 early.

I got 100% of my pay. But, I am a cheap date so it wouldn’t have killed them to top mine up.

I didn't earn all that much to start with so it was fine, just over £100 a month down.

OH is thankfully still working, although he usually does a fair bit of overtime which has been cut right back, so his wages are lower than usual too.

We're saving on fuel costs, days out, kids activities, eating out at the weekend etc.

DH work have done something wrong with his and he's somehow ended up being paid more than he normally would have, despite being on 80%. Going to have to sort that out later today!

I got more than I was expecting.

I'm hourly paid 0 hours contract, technically, but I do have regular shifts. Thanks to the overtime I did last summer and at Christmas and on top of those traditionally busy times, some more due to sickness etc I've got enough to manage at 80%.
Big relief.
No where near the cut off point so at least I don't have that to worry about either like some people do.
Business has doors closed so was a bit dicey waiting 6 weeks until the payment came through from the government but I managed, especially not wanting to commit to clearing some small arrears that savings didn't cover until I knew I'd got my sums right and the money was actually there as with everyone, not sure when it exactly would come through.
But sorted a lot out now.
Hope those of you still waiting get it soon.

Dh has had to take a pay cut (which is still more than furlough would be) but meant he only got about ½ his usual monthly wage. So glad we have a little bit of savings to fall back on

Have lost about £600 . That's more than my mortgage. Pretty depressing

My DH is still working but taken a wage cut to "share the burden". He got his pay packet yesterday and was pretty pissed off. He earns over the £2500 limit though so it would've been much worse if he'd have been furloughed so we're thankful really.

My ex is saying he still hasn’t been paid his (so still haven’t been paid child maintenance) whereas my friends who were furloughed said they were paid yesterday or the day before so I’m following this with interest to see whether he’s telling the truth or not...

Was supposed to be 80% got 0%
Company gone into liquidation before pay day, made redundant
Received no money, got £9 job seekers allowance last week, waiting 6 weeks for my redundancy pay :(
