JRS help

[james_law]

I have done quite a lot of research into this myself however there are some points i am struggling to get an answer for.

I am on a zero hour contract and I have consented to staying on the books but due to the circumstances I not being offered any work for the foreseeable future. I believe this letter, even though does not state furloughed, is enough to amount to me being designated as a furlough worker.

On this basis should my employer now access the JRS (when it comes active) or do they have the discretion to still not access it for me? They are accessing it for the full time staff who are on salary but possibly not for casual workers. I dont see why they would not do this for us?

Sorry although I think i understand the question you are asking their is a lack of information I need to provide a response.

You have consented to remaining on the payroll of your employer, is this as a result of a request for you to agree to bein furloughed? If you could post up the relevant part of the letter that would be useful.


If you have consented to being furloughed then my understanding is that once the portal is available then your employer should input your details alongside other employees who have agreed to being furloughed.*

thanks Ula,

Yeah i totally understand there is a lack of info, you have confirmed what i believe it is. While technically they did not say furlough, i have consented to a temporary leave from work and will stay on the books.
