NEW EMPLOYMENT WHILST FURLOUGHED

Please note that the government has updated its advice regarding furloughed workers, and as such employees who have been furloughed are able to take on new employment whilst on furlough (provided the employment contract allows for this).

This will not affect you receiving 80% of your salary (up to £2500) as per the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.

HU has updated its template letter to employees to reflect this, with changes highlighted in red.
