Hi, I currently work for Amazon through an agency, have been there 4+ months, am classed as a key worker, I had 2 weeks off to self isolate and now my partner has been told to self isolate along with the family due to symptoms, have I any rights to furlough pay or do I need to claim benefits? TIA

If you are self-isolating due to symptoms, you are able to claim SSP from your employer.
Furlough is an option for businesses who have no work for their employees.GETTING BACK ON TRACK (SLOWLY)

I believe you can now claim SSP for self isolating. You would not be eligible for furlough as I am sure Amazon have plenty of work for you.
