Furlough

we claimed for the furlough scheme last Sunday, but I can't see the payment yet, anyone knows how long to wait for payment into account?

6 days from the time you apply. I'm assuming you're an employer and not an employee?

Is that 6 working days (don't forget that Friday was a bank hol)?

Today is the 6th working day, would it need to be at my account yet or tomorrow? as I didn't get it yet.

I have been furloughed since 10th April, I have received 5 payslips but haven’t been paid yet, is this normal ?

No. Your employer should pay you according to the terms of your contract of employment. Your payslip tells you what you have been paid. If you haven't actually received the money, something is wrong.  This could also affect claims to benefits.

It's always working days and yes you don't count bank holidays.

I will not name the company however i have been placed on furlough but not paid furlough despite starting my employment on the 16th of February however the company didn't put me on the payroll until later on they say. I am confused as fellow colleagues who also started the same date as me have been placed on paid furlough whilst i havn't yet the company say its down to my joining date ( makes no sense due to other employees starting the same date ) This possibly sounds like the company failed to put me on their payroll when i started and the government have denied me pay? What shall i do as i am currently employed on ' unpaid furlough ' and aren't receiving any payments whats so ever and have been denied benefits due to still being employed. If i resign it means i'm out of a job when things return to normal and it effects my career.

Where do i go from here as i feel i've been completely screwed over despite the governments best efforts to help more people out.

Starting your own thread would have been better rather than ask a question on the end of someone else's thread.

To be furloughed then your employer must have sent the RTI on or before 19th March, if this wasn't done then you can't be furloughed. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/furlough-scheme-cut-off-date-extended-to-19-march

Being employed doesn't mean you can't claim Universal Credit. UC is for those that work as well as those that don't work. Whether you're entitled will depend on your circumstances. Savings/capital of more than £16,000 will exclude you.

A claim for UC will end any tax credits you may already be claiming.

Use a benefits calculator to check entitlement. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/

You should start your own thread for a new question.

Have you ever been paid? I find a number of matters surprising in your post:

• your employer had until 19 March to put you on the payroll to be able to furlough you and claim under the CJRS. If you started on 16 February why weren't you paid by 19 March?
• have you been employed for almost 3 months without any pay at all? Have you actually done any work for your employer?
• have you received a formal furlough agreement and have you accepted it, together with amendments to your contract of employment?
• if you have not been paid why are you denied benefits?
• the government cannot deny you pay. You should be paid according to the terms of your contract of employment. Whether your employer can recover any of your wages under the CJRS is a matter for them.
