They could if they were eligible and if they do so by 13/07.

My Wife's Company has gone into Administration while she's been Furloughed and a Management buyout has taken place. She's been transferred under TUPE but they're now saying they can't continue to Furlough her, is this correct? It had been agreed she could return under a phased approach at the beginning of Aug in an Admin capacity, due to her having to help care for a very elderly relative and her role meant she would come into contact with members of the public. They've now said she has to go back next week in her normal role, which exposes her to a much higher risks of catching & passing Covid19 to her vulnerable relative who she's helping to care for. Can they do this?

you would have been better starting your own thread
Furlough is the employers choice. If they want her back to work (I am assuming her job needs to be done) and she does not want to return then she could request annual or unpaid leave

This has nothing to do with the original question. You should post new questions on your own thread. The TUPE issue is not relevant. Employers can choose who to furlough and when, so long as they follow equality and discrimination legislation. She can ask for some leave or ask to take holiday.
