The Government are failing to support workers who have been recently employed by businesses affected by the Covid-19 outbreak. I work in a non-essential retail store and live in a Scottish city that is soon to go into lockdown. I was employed by the company in November 2020. As I have only been in employment with the company for one month, they are not entitled to claim furlough pay for me. I know others will be in the same position and believe it is unfair. We are not choosing to not work.
