8th April, 2020

The word 'furlough' has never been used more frequently than in the last few weeks. However, there has been a lot of uncertainty regarding how it works and how it impacts on employment rights.

The 9SJS Employment Team are here to provide their insights. In their recent video, Stefan Brochwicz-Lewinski and Louise Quigley have provided answers to key questions on furlough.

They answer questions such as:

  • Can employees who have been on furlough by an employer seek alternative employment elsewhere?
  • Can Directors be furloughed?
  • Does an employee who is furloughed transfer pursuant to a Transfer of Undertakings Regulations or not?  

and more.
