Dumdo

Not receiving 80%of my weekly wage because its based on a yearly earnings, but have had a pay rise in last 6 months, so I'm now receiving 80% of my wage that I get now, any help on this would be much appreciated..

Not sure what you need help with here. Have you made a typo?

Although badly worded I guess you mean you are not getting 80% of your current wage. Are you salaried?

Sorry was badly worded, and yes your correct in saying I'm not getting 80% of my weekly wage now, or for the last 8 weeks or so..

The furlough calculation isnt based on your current wage. Someone will no doubt post the guidance.

are you salaried or paid hourly? If salaried should be based on what you earn now as your pay rise was 6 months ago, if pay is variable then its an average basically.

Yes I'm salaried, not on an hourly rate, fixed wage every week..

then should get  80% of current salary as pay rise was before current scheme started.

Well we dont know that, he has been very vague. He said his pay rise was "in the last 6 months" and not "6 months ago".

Was approximately 6 months ago, can't remember exact date of hand, can get in touch with w&s to get exact dates if it helps.. Had pay increase months before furlough started, if this helps.
