To be honest if I was your employer I'd be hitting the roof?

You've been looked after, sat comfortably on furlough - part of which your employer is funding and now the prospect of having to go back to work is turning up your suddenly ready to hand in your notice and I've got to find someone else at the same time as paying your notice? Talk about looking after number one. 

A company may not care about making you redundant when it suits them, so cuts both ways.

How many companies have put all their employees on furlough without making any redundant? Not many I'd imagine.

I suppose this partly depends on when OP knew she was leaving her current company for the new job, but even if their actions aren't illegal their immoral. Someone else who had every intention of returning to work could now be lying on benefits and had no furlough money so OP can coin in the furlough cash. 

I was speaking in general terms, not necessarily for this case.

 I tend to find it helps to discuss the Ops case in threads? Not sure why you needed to go on a tangent.

This person employer valued them enough to furlough them rather than make them redundant, to run away for another job before returning to work would annoy any employer.

Well if they made them redundant they would have had to have paid some sort of redundancy payment which they dont have to now.

Presumably it was the taxpayer paying the furlough not the employer. So a win win for both the OP (furloughed) and the employer (did not pay cost of furlough and also avoided a potential redundancy payout).

The employer would still have been responsible for pension contributions and payment for holidays would be at 100%.

Perhaps you need to blame the Employer.

As some one on 17k rising from 16k because the Employer had no money in Feb 2020 apparently for a full-timer, though it didn't stop a part time 30 hrs work from home 4 days per week colleague achieving 18,200k in November 2020.

The convo of we can't afford u was one I was grateful of not hearing. Knowing the above.

But do carry on believing the Employer is the Victim......

With retail, pubs & gyms opening today, unless your employer is in a sector not yet opened up why would they put you on furlough?

Quiet a salary for a month.

Too right they should, if not them, then who?
