Forlough payments

Thecar

I was put on the government scheme by work on the 28th march 
By my company in my March in wages I had deduction of money 
Taken out for the forlough scheme when the government announced they was going to offer this scheme they should have started on the 1st of april so we would not have been deducted money for march 
Woukd just like to no your thoughts happy I'm getting paid something

You mean you were working to the 28th march but your company has given you furlough pay since the start of the scheme? rather then when you stopped working?

Yes I was deducted a part of my wages in march 
And full amount in april

They have to pay you normally until they put you on furlough if you worked. It not meant to be a scheme so companies can save a bit on there payroll although I am sure plenty will. Have a look through

To be fair they may have be unsure, but it clearly states you can do no work for the company whilst furloughed. If they are fully aware and have claimed anyway except for reporting them there is not to much you can do.
