Furlough and living wage

[Lucy1971]

Does anyone know if furloughed staff will receive 80% of the new living wage which came into effect today, or will it be based on pay as at 28th Feb.

It's the higher of 80% of your wages this time last year or your average monthly earnings for 2019/20. At least that's what's on the government website at the moment.

The 28/02 point is that you need to have been on payroll at that date.
