Hi,as an employee who has not been furloughed yet but 50 of my co-workers have,what should we be getting paid by our employer?

contracted to 38 hours but required to work overtime usually 50+ hours per week total and consistently so for the last 3 years at least.

for the last 4 weeks we have been on 38 hours due to a decline in work

employer is currently paying furloughed workers normal hourly rate minus 20% x 38 hours, is this correct?

or should it be the average over the last tax year -20% and capped at £2500 per month?

we are weekly paid

Sorry, not a reduction of 20% but 80% of what we would have got ordinarily, i think they have worked this out wrong, this should be 80% of average not 80% of basic which would make a reasonable difference to take home pay.

Yes overtime is mandatory
 
They are applying this across everyone weekly paid equally, not seen anything about an upper limit, how does it apply? do you mean the £2500 cap?
