Is my employer stealing my furlough pay?

Uberbeck

Got news that my umbrella company has been paid by HMRC, but apparently only part of the money (very odd). Due to receive something either today or tomorrow but not sure if they will he paying me everything they have received from HMRC.

My friend is with an umbrella company and he's being paid but having to put up with the national minimum rate saga, although that might be backdated monies owed. My particular agency were part of 2500 agency workers being furloughed so that amount of auditing might have played a part in the delay. Just keep the pressure on. My local MPs office wrote to my agency and asked why the delay. They suggested the MP write to the Sec of State if they needed to to apply pressure as HMRC Had had grant approval but waiting way over 6 days for the funds. 

Just been given a payslip from my umbrella, but no money yet, they have calculated it as minimum wage minus 20%. Is this what happened  to you Wfranklin71? The reason I think I have been paid this way is because my umbrella has been massively under declaring my income to HMRC, taking tax from me and not passing it over to the government. If they paid me for what I earn then HMRC would notice the discrepancy.

I assume I have been paid this because my employer has been massively under declaring my wages to HMRC, they have taken tax and not passed it on to HMRC. I guess if the tax man saw a massive difference between the two different incomes declared then they might get suspicious.
