The extension of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, which was due to close at the end of October, means that furlough is once again raising questions for HR.
As the decision to keep the scheme open was announced with very little notice, employers have been asking about how it will operate during the extended period from 1 November 2020.
With a month to go until the end of the Brexit transition period, questions about obtaining a visa sponsor licence and the EU settlement scheme also feature in the top 10.
The top 10 HR questions in November 2020:
1. How will the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme operate as it is extended from 1 November 2020?
2. Can an employer place an employee on furlough leave if they are off sick?
4. Does placing employees on furlough prevent the employer from making them redundant?
5. When does an employer need a sponsor licence?
7. Why is it important for European nationals in the UK to obtain settled or pre-settled status?
8. Does an employer need to obtain an employee’s written agreement to be furloughed?
9. When can annual leave be carried over due to the coronavirus crisis?
