Since the government furlough scheme was introduced back in March, E.ON has topped up wages for all affected employees to 100%. The company have committed to top up wages to 100% throughout July, but will revert to the government scheme from 1st August. This means furloughed employees will only be paid 80% of their wages from this date.
UNISON are concerned about the financial impact this will have on our members, and we will continue to meet with the company to discuss ways in which this shortfall in salary can be mitigated. We have further meetings with the company next week, and we will share any updates with you in due course.
