Zero Hours Contract after 3 years full time for same company, how is my furlough pay calculated?

chrissydrums

I have worked for a company for over 3 years. I started off full time then decided to go zero hours in August 2019 to give myself more free time for other projects.
I have worked for and been continuously employed by the company since 2016, but my monthly hours have varied. How is my furlough pay calculated? Will it only be from August, the time my contracted hours turned to zero?
Hope someone can help! Thanks!

It looks like you are a variable pay employee:

"Employees whose pay varies and were employed from 6 April 2019

If the employee has been employed continuously from the start of the 2019 to 2020 tax year, you can claim the highest of either:

• 80% of the same month’s wages from the previous year (up to a maximum of £2,500 a month)
• 80% of the average monthly wages for the 2019 to 2020 tax year (up to a maximum of £2,500 a month)"
