New/Old furlong pay difference

Klay

I was furlonged back in March and returned to work in July where I was told I was flexible furlonged,  up until the new lockdown where I'm back fully furlonged. My 80% though is less than it was when 1st furlonged, can anyone tell me why? I am on a zero hours contract if that helps.
Thanks in advance..

If you are on a zero hours contract, your reference salary is calculated as the higher of:

• your pay for the equivalent period last year
• your average pay for 2019/20 up to when you were furloughed

If your pay last November was less than your pay when furloughed earlier, your reference salary could have gone down, and if your furlough agreement says they pay you 80% of your reference salary, you will get less furlough.

Furlough/furloughed. Furlonged isn't a word and furlong is 220 yards

A bit pedantic

Not really, I just hate the same word being used incorrectly 4 times in one paragraph.

Sounds like a poster that was on here a while ago with the same word been used under a new username. 

If you want clarification to the amounts speak to your employer.
