So today is the day that the UK government is releasing details on their job retention scheme for furloughed employees. Millions of employers will begin to claim for their employee’s wages. It also happens to be 20th April, or 4/20 in America. I’ve always said that history has a sense of irony, or likes to create coincidence, or something to that effect. The fact that a scheme to get employers to continue paying employees to stay home and do nothing that was announced in March finally comes online on 4/20 is just a wonderful aligning of the planets in my opinion. So it is, then, on this day, employers will be making claims on gov.uk while their employees should definitely just stay home, and stay safe, and for those who partake in the recreational ingestion of that herb - celebrate 4/20 and put on some Bob Marley. Even for those not in the UK, it’s five o’clock somewhere in the world.
