Hi,
I currently work two jobs, one full time and one part time which is one weekend a month. My full time job has furloughed me but my part time job continue as normal as it has 'keyworker' status. Can I still work this part time job or if I work it will I not be entitled to my 80% of my full time job wage on the new government scheme?
Thank you,
Olivia

Is it the same employer?

For obvious reasons, the fine detail is still very much a work in progress. Info currently available suggests the legislation applies to your employer, rather than to you as an individual, so if your jobs are with two different employers, the 80% in respect of your full time job shouldn't be impacted by the earnings from your part time job - although that could change as time goes on.1

Has anyone seen any update on this subject? My wife is in a similar situation where her second job is worth around a third of her income so this would be a considerable loss of wages.0

Yes you can be furloughed from one job and still work at the other one as long as they are different employers.1
