Also relevant is the question of whether furloughed employees are allowed to take on a new job whilst furloughed. Because that'd be a real kick in the teeth for anyone on UC/SSP, or those who are still required to work remotely, nurses on £25k, or whatever. Some people will come out of this actually better off than normal if that is allowed (e.g. min. wage café worker takes up min. wage FT job in supermarket - earnings are basically 180% of normal for duration of COVID measures).
It's quite a tricky problem
