I said few businesses will be able to afford to retain furloughed staff from October - they will have to continue paying them until they are no longer employees. Many will be starting redundancy procedures now (if they haven't already), the consultation process for this will take at least a month to work through, and many skilled workers will have 2 or 3 month redundancy notice periods, so it could easily be Christmas before staff being notified today of threat of redundancy are actually off the books.Stroudy, you say very few businesses will be able to pay staff in a month, I think that is a rather extreme view.
