Cashflow - coming off furlough to join a new employer

JWood94

I've been put on furlough by my old company and will be receiving my last payment at the end of the month from them.

I've just been offered a new role with a different company and they want me to start next Monday (20th Jul). If I'm on both payrolls for both companies. 

Should I expect to receive both my furlough payment for the first three weeks of the month as well as final two weeks pay of the month from the new company? Or should I delay my start date with the new company to ensure I receive both?

Hope that makes sense and thanks for your help in advance :-)

No you should get both, its no different to leaving a job and starting another even in normal times, Company 1 should still run payroll as normal. There is no overlap at all.

It will depend on what your contract with your existing employer says.

Surely Employer 1 knows he is leaving and he has handed his notice in accordingly?

Even so, it will still depend on their contract.

Well yes but even in normal times that is the case.

Just to clarify this to the OP - some employment contracts have restrictions in them stopping you going to work for a competitor within a certain timescale. I assume this is not the case here?
