I am hoping this will now mean his initial contract should stand and he at least gets 80%. Any thoughts? He has emailed for clarity. I really don’t understand who will get this and can companies just lay people off without repercussions? Surely this is the idea of the payments?

There are lots of people already on zero-hours contracts who will get naff all. My understanding is that an already agreed and signed contract requires both parties to agree amendments. Ideally he would get 80% of the first contract, but I'm not sure if the company are within their rights to just terminate. And on a zero-hours contract you won't even get sick pay I disengage, I turn the page.

We shall wait and see, he was only p/t on minimum wage but getting something would be nice and morale boosting.

I wouldn't say we are going on as normal. lots of shops are closed, the number of people around is way down. The Penryn ASDA is always choca, but the smaller ones are only a little busier. Can get toilet paper, pasta and bread, although eggs seem to have disappeared. As for people coming down, we only have one main hospital Treliske, at the best of times it's full to capacity. We have 16 known cases, not a lot I know, but people are really scared. Plus there's an innate dislike of 'outsiders.' I've been here 35 years and I still get 'you're not Cornish, are you?' And Falmouth is very cosmopolitan in comparison to other places, even Truro. Stay safe my friends. These people who don't want you now will be after your money soon
