    You would lose none of your furlough pay, however if you start a job before the notice period expires you could be considered in breech of contract so they don't have to pay you anymore,  and in principle the employer could also sue you for any loss they suffer (f they need to pay for cover or whatever), I don't think it effects your actual redundancy pay but somebody else might know.

    This forum may be able to help.
    If you find a new job, don't go telling your employer until you've come back on here and asked about counter notice.

    I should have also added with you being furloughed the chances are your current employer would be quite happy for you to leave before the 12 weeks are up as it be a saving for them, but that is up to them.
