I am full time employed and have used up my 10weeks sick pay allowance due to long covid.
I had found on the gov.co.uk website that if you are off sick with covid that you can still get furlough... I could not find this information again. 
Can the company still give me furlough up to £2500/month or as I have used my sick pay, am I only entitled to SSP £97/week?
thank you, JS

  • Only if your company agrees to furlough you and there is the need to do so (you cannot do your job as there is no need for it, reduced business requirement for your position, company turnover affected) 
    furlough is too protect jobs, as in if your role is required then furlough isn’t appropriate. It’s not an enhanced benefits scheme
