Haven’t used any annual leave this year but my allowance has been reduced to 50%

Hmmm, this is becoming common.   A loophole perhaps?

Anyone on here taken a second job whilst on furlough?

It's allowed under the rules and my employer allows it provided I keep my manager informed of shifts via email. Looks like I've got a job at the local supermarket, it's only shelf stacking/tills/warehouse work but it's money coming in rather than me sat at home spending it! Are there any bits of paperwork/HMRC rules etc I need to be aware of? Don't want to cock it up as it could have implications for my main job.

My place tried that, the union shot them down.

I'm back to work as of yesterday and off Furlough. I had to go through redundancy consultations over the last couple weeks but got the call Thursday last week that I was needed back to work. Working from home for the time being but will be back onsite once the Scottish government says that building sites can open again.

Thanks for all the informative contributions. Hopefully you'll all be back at work sooner rather than later.

My wife had a generic email that basically said:  "Those of you are on Furlough are still on Furlough until July 31st.  She turned up at her team meeting today to find the student asked to cover her job hated it, keeps making mistakes and doesn't want to do it any more, and her Manager said to her, "what, you mean you aren't coming back Thursday?"

She put the phone (well, Teams) down and went out for a bike ride with the kids.
