    What did your employer say when you asked them?

    My understanding is that you had to be employed on 28 February for you to be eligible for the Furlough scheme and as you only started after that, that unfortunately you will not qualify. That's really tough for your circumstances, but this is what the government has put down as a hard rule.

    Your business will not be entitles to claim furlough payments from the government, as you had to be on the PAYE system on the 28th Feb.

    What your employer decides to do with your ongoing employment is their decision.
