Change the furlough qualifying date
We are asking The Chancellor to change the furlough qualifying date from the 30th October 2020 to the 30th November 2020
Why is this important?
After losing their jobs in the first lockdown thousands of people have only managed to get employment in October to December.
If their employers did not register them on the Government's payroll scheme by the 30th October they were not entitled to be furloughed in either of the last two lockdowns. This is causing massive financil hardship.
The scheme date needs changing to preferably the 30th November or at least the 31st December 2020
