It’s an enormous oversight and utterly unacceptable that employees are being left with nothing due to glaring gaps in the schemes. You may try contacting your former employer, supplied you had been on their payroll on the 28 February to see if they will rehire you during the furlough scheme. My employer’s gone bust, can I nonetheless declare the 80% wage support? Sadly despite the entire government’s funding packages some already precarious companies will collapse into administration.
