Hi
My furlough is ending at the end of September but there is no money in the business to pay for me after this due to current situation.
I am the only employee at the moment and as soon as sales resume she wants me back if she can.
Is there any way to remain an employee but unpaid to keep my service length and rights but with no/little cost to her.
She is happy to do this if possible.
Thanks for any advice
Becky

If your contract permits it, or you agree for it to be amended to do so, your employer could temporarily lay you off

Or they could amend your contract of employment or agree a period of unpaid leave. Your employer should get advice though - so they can do it properly.You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means - Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride0

Hi Becky,
Maybe she can make you a director of the company.
This way you are not bound by the normal rules of employment, such as minimum wage and monthly PAYE.
You will probably loose any chance of any benefits though. I have been furloughed without any income or benefits for 5 months.0 -

Zero hours contract? Or, if you have 2 years length of service, would you be better off being made redundant?No free lunch, and no free laptop0

Yes you could agree a period of unpaid leave (like BA pilots). Keeps you on the cards and still accruing any time served benefits like enhanced redundancy pay should the worst happen.
