    You will get a furlough payment based on the days you have been furloughed.

    You'd have to consult your contract or ask your employer. 

    Date the employee receives payment and period the payment covers are two different things.

    If you get paid on the last Friday of every month the payment would usually be for one month of work.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    If you get paid once a month they usually average the pay out over the year, you get the same each month even if you do not work the same days. So if you get paid the same each month then no, if they calculate it daily, then you will get it for the furloughed days.
