This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme can be used to pay 80% of the salaries, up to £2,500 a month, of any employees who are furloughed during the coronavirus outbreak.

Deciding which staff while be furloughed under this scheme is a matter for individual employers, and not the Government or Parliament.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Remove firms discretion and obligate firms to furlough employees where eligible: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/312611

Allow employees to claim the 80% income support directly from the Government: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/311183
