Work took advantage of the furlough scheme.

I was furloughed back in April and bought back on July 1st supposedly on 'part-time furlough'

When I asked my line manager he was non committal about the hours he wanted me to work and said "a few hours every day"

A few hours turned into full time. After the first week I mentioned to him I was doing above and beyond my contracted hours and I was concerned in regards to the furlough etc.

He took me into a room and basically told me there was no difference in my pay and it only benefits the company for the furlough scheme to cover my wages.

They declared I was working half my contracted hours each week when I was actually working over 15 hours more than my contracted hours.

I was very uncomfortable with this but my line manager is a real bully and it's his way or the high way.

I've handed in my notice now, due to him forcing me to work over my hours, being a bully and generally the toxic environment.

Is there anything I can do in regards to the above? I was always very uncomfortable with it but was so desperate to keep my job and was quite frankly, scared of this guy. Quite frankly, it would be easy to prove the amount of hours I was actually working...

Thanks for any advice!

Tell HMRC

Please tell HMRC. Everyone else will be paying for your scammy boss.

You can do it totally anonymously.

Please do it OP. I really don’t want us all to be paying for his fraud.

Lilacpheonix · 27/09/2020 22:34

Thank you. I'll make the call once I have left.
