"If you do not want to go on furlough If your employer asks you to go on furlough and you refuse you may be at risk of redundancy or termination of employment, depending on the circumstances of your employer. However, this must be in line with normal redundancy rules and protections." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 33649 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 He can’t be made redundant as they’re taking someone else to perform the same role as him. They also can’t furlough your mate as the grounds for claiming furlough are that the company has been economically harmed and there’s no work for the furloughed employee. Again, they can’t claim that then start someone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 23327 Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Only me! Question for my brother this time. He has gone to 4 day weeks and think's his holidays have been caclulated wrongly. They don't have a HR dept as it's a small company. His office does 37.5h weeks and he is doing 32h in 4 days. So 8h days rather than 7.5. He has been told he gets 20 days holiday. But he also wants to know what happens to his Bank Holidays too as he is taking Monday's off. Done some digging on the Gov website and it says more days holidays and he is entitled to his BH but pro rata. Anyone got a better idea? The Gov website basically does it as if he is doing standard days which he isn't really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 51213 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 If he's already off on Mondays, I'm pretty sure he just loses those bank holidays. You haven't told us what holiday allowance a person working normal hours gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 24199 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Yeah, most big places calculate BH pro rata. I would guess that should be 32/37.5 x 8 = about 7 days BH. Or in total 32/37.5 x 33 = about 28 days in total (obviously he will need to take the BH from this). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 23327 Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 That's what I get 28. He's been told 21. My wife is asking her HR dept today so hopefully get a better idea. His company is decent so hopefully they sort it with minimal hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gov website basically does it as if he is doing standard days which he isn't really. Expand Twenty days holiday is the statutory minimum through law, BHs would be added pro-rata if he doesn't do Monday's as they are statutory also. If he's only doing 32 hours weeks he'll get the twenty days pro-rated as well. So 28 days if he did a standard week I'd guess or slightly under for a 32 hour week. (Twenty days entitlement is fucking diabolical IMO, fucking greedy bastards). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 11344 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Mrs Fish has just successfully implemented unlimited annual leave at her place, or "Time well taken" as they're calling it. Lucky bassers We get 1 day a month without meetings, or expectations to do any work called "spirit of you" days. Ostensibly they're there for mental well-being, or development, or any training you want to do or whatever. Literally everybody has been using them for boring life-admin shit, or a free day off to tack onto your annual leave holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I can't laugh, I pulled a muscle at work last week, aggravated it badly on my days off and even days later it's like someone has digged me in the kidney area. I was off on the sick for two days, (first time throughout the pandemic including no covid or isolations). I initially suggested going back in tomorrow doing something else not as strenuous but they're that desperate for my skills they've given me my own slave to do all the humping whilst I just get to concentrate on the technical stuff. Anyway, just wondering if any of you gimps has any whips handy? (Yes, I'm looking at you, Bilbo Fist). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
