Commission should be included in Furlough Leave calculation
The Issue
Across the UK, the earnings of thousands of employees rely on monthly commission and regular bonus payments. These are hard-working individuals paying their taxes month after month, year after year.
Whilst we welcome the efforts the government has made to those affected by the Corona Virus outbreak, we feel strongly that in the haste to put a plan together this section of workers has been forgotten.
Commission is a significant part of many workers salaries:
I.e.
- Sales Development (For thousands of different UK companies)
- Recruitment Consultants
- Estate Agents
- Car Sales
- Medical Sales
etc.
We humbly ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Boris Johnson and the UK Government to reconsider including Commission and Bonus's as part of the Furlough Leave calculation.
All other aspects can remain equal (80% up to £2,500 cap)
We say thank you to the Government for all its current support, but ask please, please, please don't forget about all the hard working, revenue generating, employees out there.
Not only has this virus outbreak stopped their ability to earn, but they are doubly hard hit as the Government under current guidelines is choosing not to support them.
When the outbreak is under control and you want the economy to recover, you will need our skills to grow and develop the economy again - stronger and better.
