Furlough Relative Paid Incorrectly?

sonofmerton

One of my relatives has been on the 80% furlough scheme. Over a month ago she was called back to work flexible hours on an as needed basis ie 2 hours here and there or even days at a time (whilst still getting the 80% from the Government). She got her wages this month and they only paid them a token amount of under 20 quid extra on top of the 80%

Most of her colleagues are on furlough, they get 80% of their wages for sitting indoors, yet my relative drives in each time, does hours and hours working and all they get is an extra 17 quid for their efforts on top of the 80%. I don't know exactly how many hours they were called in but i'd guess around 80-100 hours for the month. 

Anyone have any ideas if the employer is taking the beep.....?

Not really a benefits & tax credits question.

Probably more appropriate to this board:

This is the welfare benefits section of the forum. It would have been better for you to post on the covid section... here. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/coronavirus-support-and-help
