Rejected petition Please extend the cut of point of 19 March 2020 to 31 March 2020

Please extend the cut of point of 19 March 2020 to 31 March 2020 for the job retention scheme as a lot of people on monthly payroll have lost out big time and are struggling.

More details

We are in unprecedented times, a lot of people are struggling, i put my hands up the government has done more than anyone could imagine unfortunately the cut of point for the job retention scheme has put hundreds if not thousands of people with no income and you will agree no one can survive on universal credit, so i implore the government to please extend the cut of point to 31 march 2020 so that those who receive monthly salaries do not loss out.
