Rugster Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 20 minutes ago, DiegoDiego said: Not that I'm going to do anything about this rather than let them know I'm somewhat disgruntled, but... I've been off work with covid (no symptoms, finished isolation today) and just got my pay slip this afternoon. I'm paid hourly and on a zero hour contract. My pay for the last fortnight consists of the few hours I did isolating, some furlough money and some holiday pay. I didn't request and holiday and they didn't inform me about furlough. In fact, they haven't contacted me at all since my last shift. Finally here's my quick questions: do you have to inform employees before putting them on furlough, and can an employer just use up your holiday entitlement without you requesting holiday? I'm not actually that bothered about how things have turned out (though it does amount to about half my usual pay) but I am rather ticked off that they communicated none of this to me. They have to write to you to put you on furlough and technically get your agreement. They have to give you notice if they are forcing you to take annual leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to give you notice if they are forcing you to take annual leave. Thanks very much for that, it's as I assumed. There's not really much I can do about it now though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the place I work, all the peons had to use a couple of weeks' holidays during furlough. Either you were asked for permission, were flat-out told it was happening so tough shit, or didn't find out about it until your payslip arrived. Knowing the bosses, I'd imagine they got bored calling everyone and gave up after a while. I was one of the ones who was asked for permission. Ooh, special. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per previous comments, it sounds like a Wi-Fi connection issue.
