Employee Representatives
Whilst on furlough, employees who are union or non-union representatives may undertake duties and activities for the purpose of individual or collective representation of employees or other workers. This clarifies that it is not a breach of furlough to accompany a colleague during disciplinary or grievance meetings, or redundancy consultation.
