Annual review while furloughed?

Where has the OP stated that going in is a problem in terms of length of commute?

She hasn't said the commute is a problem but she has said it will involve driving, so a cost will be involved - we don't know whether that's £3, £30 or what, we also don't know if the employer provides free parking or if it will involve paying for parking.

Whether the employer breaches the furlough rules by calling you in for your appraisal is a matter for them, rather than you, although with flexible furlough there should not be an issue. You should be paid at full rate for attending.

I think where it may be an issue is if the employee faces a long drive to get to the office (which could be both time consuming and expensive), then they shouldn't be calling them in for a single meeting unless the employee is OK with it.

Not having been near the office in 5 months. Which they commuted to on a daily basis pre lockdown. Attitude speaks volumes about a person and their value to the business. Hence a criteria in redundancy selection. Economic downturns aren't generally a good time to make yourself unwanted. 

That's a very ignorant response.  

Simply pragmatic. Suspect that I've involved in more company restructuring processes than you have. Business can be harsh and seemingly uncaring. For you ignorance appears to be bliss.

It's ignorance of the furlough rules and employee circumstances that I was referring to.  We don't know if any roles at the original poster's employer will be at risk of redundancy or whether the annual review will form any part of that, it might be they want her annual review done because they want to set her goals for the next year when she's back working again.
