So the furlough scheme ends in October, what happens to businesses that cannot operate due to social distancing regulations? If this is still implemented how are employers supposed to pay their staff. I was talking to the boss at the coach company I do a bit of work for, he said to keep passengers at a distance of 2m apart in any direction, would only allow a maximum of 9 people on a 57 seater. Atm the furlough payment is TWICE the company's monthly income, so how is he meant to pay 11 wages if the furlough money is stopped?Wont affect me as I just work casual as and when required, and I have my business as an income anyway, but its worrying times ahead.
