Time to establish the rules?

until further notice,... (you, I mean I)... will be classified as ‘furloughed workers’ in accordance with the Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. This means that, if you have received this letter, you are not required to come into work but will remain on our payroll, rather than being laid off.

Have you received notice of being furloughed? What field do you work in if you don't mind me asking?

That quote above is a snippet of the notice my direct colleague forwarded on to me, I'm on day 1 of 7 iso so can't get my work emails unless they give me remote access. I'll ask for copy tomorrow to personal email but we should all get letter too.

We're getting no notice period.

To remain vague I work in a leisure centre that is also an elite (national squad) training facility for a niche sport.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
