My boss doesn't want me to apply unemployment when he's on the?
a lot of people have asked me to answer this, so least i can do is answer it. just to let you know, i had to google PPP cos ive lived in england over two decades and i just didnt know what it was. and it didnt help that i accidentally typed in poo instead of PPP and wondered why the results were all about sh*t. but i digress. what i dont understand is why your boss would be bothered. can he still not make the claim for PPP even though you are claiming benefit? least until you start getting paid by your employer? maybe they dont want you to claim cos it makes them look bad. who knows. or maybe they wont qualify if you are getting benefits. who knows. but you have every right to claim benefits if you are not getting paid by your employer. what does he expect you to do, live on ramen noodles for three months to save his pride? sounds like two separate things to me, to be honest. and not your bosses business if you are claiming benefits. but if i were you, id contact the benefit people and ask them - and make sure that it wont negatively affect your own entitlement if your boss makes this claim. find out how long you will be paid for on this PPP thing, if its approved, v how long you would be paid for if you claim benefits cos you could always claim benefit, then stop claiming if this PPP thing kicks in, right?
