Furlough scheme abuse
What to do if your employer is abusing the furlough scheme, and would you buy a home you have never visited?
Money Box has been hearing from furloughed workers who say their employers are abusing the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. It allows staff to be put on leave while the government pays 80 per cent of their wages up to 拢2500 a month. One worker says he鈥檚 being forced to keep working and another says she鈥檚 been furloughed but isn鈥檛 being paid. Guest Sarah Chilton, partner with employment law specialists CM Murray
We hear from Endija who bought her two-bedroom home after viewing it through a virtual tour. Guest Mark Hayward, chief executive of the National Association of Estate Agents
And the programme looks at the latest measures to help insurance customers with financial difficulties caused by coronavirus.
