It is a fun point that I live in the UK and have headed up finance at SMEs. Until the pandemic I had never even heard the term 'furlough'. What does it mean now? If they are UK staff I doubt you can do anything other than make them redundant.
- CydeWeys 4y agoIt's been used in the US much longer than that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furlough https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furlough
- jimnotgym 4y agoI'm aware of that. I, like everyone else in the UK, googled it at the start of the pandemic. My point was more that the linked article was from the BBC, and this is a phrase that is basically legally meaningless in the UK.
