Contract terminated

Posts: 4 Newbie

Hi all
As of Friday 24th April my contract at work was terminated due to covid 19. (Contract original finish date was 31/12/2021)
I was working for a agency but was given the disappointing news at where I worked by the deputy manager.
Still unclear as to where I stand with the whole furlough thing as I'm having little clarity from the agency I worked for.
Any thoughts?
Cheers.

As your contract as ended your employer would need to re-employ you to furlough you. Furloughing is entirely down to the employer and you will need to speak to them regarding this.If the answer is no, which i expect it maybe then look at claiming universal credit. If you have savings/capital of more than £16,000 you'll be excluded from claiming.A claiming for UC will end any tax credits you may already be claiming.1

Some clarity.., the agency who I worked for are waiting on a client confirmation letter to be signed by the client to confirm the contract was terminated due to covid 19.
If the client signs then I am eligible for furlough.0 -
Good luck, going by other posts on here then most agencies are not furloughing.
