UK Businesses Coronavirus Response for Workers

1		We are sourcing the reactions by employers (particularly big corporations and billionaire owned business) both good and bad to coronavirus in the UK. This resource is being crowdsourced. Please try and check and include sources. Ultimately, the goal is to share this knowledge and organise mass boycotts of those treating their workers badly, and celebrate those who are enabling workers, their families and our communities to stay well.		Note: Statutory Sick Pay in the UK is £94.25 per week. Only workers earning over £118 per week are eligible and is not paid for the first three days of absence. Rent, bills and debts, as well as food and living costs, far exceed this amount. Two million UK workers do not earn enough to claim SSP, including one in ten working women. Self-employed people are not entitled to SSP, but some casual and agency workers are.

Furthermore, Better also emailed gym members to encourage gym and pool use to stay active during the pandemic. They have reduced classes by 50% - unclear if they are still paying instructors whose hours have been cut.	Local councils	https://www.leisurecentre.com/coronavirus; https://www.pwtag.org/novel-coronavirus-covid-19-latest-information-2/	I'm not a worker, I'm a gym member who was very disappointed by their response whereby they are encouraging more people down to the gym, putting gym goers and employees at risk. They cited PWTAG advice that 'chlorine within the swimming pools will inactivate the virus.' However, they have omitted the next part of that advice which states 'Of concern, though, is the interaction that pool users have with each other beyond the swimming activity.' The selective omission of this advice serves to justify their decision to encourage members to the pool/gym while putting members and staff at risk of increased non essential contact with others.

UK government	Ex employee	No loyalty to freelancers shown by BBC often After years of working unpaid overtime etc	To add to the BBC slot, broadcast support workers are being told they have to go to the office and cannot work from home, if they're scheduled for work they have to go in. My partner is a broadcast support centre engineer - I've seen him work from home in the past and it's entirely possible for him to do his job remotely, but he's been told that if he's scheduled to be on shift, he has to go in. The shopping centre where the office is based is likely going to be shut soon, as is the car park for their offices, so workers will soon have to get public transport in.	EMPLOYEE: Our first week working from home has been well supported. We're having regular 'webinars' updating us on how the BBC is improving polices.

Staff was asked to leave office in the afternoon on Monday 9th March as precaution (but received full pay for the day). Not until past midnight did they send an email to everyone saying there has been a confirmed coronavirus case in the building, but this was not seen by anyone because we have no access to work email outside the office. Someone who saw the email on Tuesday morning shared it with everyone. No one wanted to enter the building, mangers were working from home. We are all agency workers, but not on 0h contract. Some left home, some didn't even show up because they guessed the reason for everyone being sent home on Monday. Building had been deep cleaned, but we all demanded to immediately self-isolate. They clearly didn't want us to do that, but had no choice because we refused to enter the building. They wanted us to keep working like nothing had happened and clearly were not taking it seriously enough. Everyone was sent home eventually. After this reaction has been better. We were promised full pay for the entire week, even though we were just home doing nothing. We got computers shipped to our homes early this week and managers are clearly taking this much more seriously now, and are flexible with times if we need to go shopping etc.	Retail (technology/electronics)

They claim all roles can only be done in the office however the majority of employees have laptops and mobiles and are able to conduct their duties remotely. The reason that employees are still going into the office is because Lyca only pays 3 days sick leave per annum, anything more than this and you don’t get paid. During the course of the virus outbreak there have been a number of cases of employees displaying symptoms of the virus, instead of sending these employees home, Lycamobile moved them to a different floor in their building away from the main office....they were still happy for them to come to work though and share communal zones. The only thing Lyca has done for its employees during this outbreak is to offer free parking If an employee doesn’t want to use public transport. They are expecting all employees to turn up for work on Monday. A number of employees have submitted requests for Home working but these have either been ignored or refused.

Those with children are allowed a week off work but then must return or use their holidays, or ask to have shift patterns rearranged. Staff are being sent home because the stores are so quiet.

163	Hobbycraft	UK	Dangerous. All employees told to work regardless. No sanitizer left in stores. No social distancing at tills. Pay being withheld from those at risk, told to take unpaid leave, jobs being threatened. Advice via company intranet is contradictory to UK Government \ NHS advice. Their basket spend and daily net profit are up. That it their only concern.	Bridgepoint.eu	Company Intranet Emails	Manager of a branch in South West England: Sent 3 pairs of gloves and 3 masks for a store of 18 employees. Only 2 bottles of hand sanitizer 2 weeks ago, already used up. 80% of staff in NHS mandated high risk category. Must still work or face no pay.

169	Halfords	UK	Reaction has been "we will give you sanitiser". So far, (2 weeks after being told this), we have seen 0. Also, customers are being told via small A4 signs to stand 2 meters away. That doesnt work. This weekend in Harrogate was worse than Christmas time - customers all over, standing on top of each other.	Halfords		It seems Halfords are wanting as much "take" from this as possible, and telling us employees that we are essential workers. Fair enough, we might be, HOWEVER, try looking after us. Shorten hours, limit numbers of customers in at one time. PROVIDE CLEANING AND SANITISING EQUIPMENT/SOAPS/LIQUIDS. Our store only has 2 bathroom sinks and kitchen sink to wash hands. And we use dishwashing soap to wash.		Stores remain open as of Mon 23rd March. Social distancing is made impossible, staff are still carrying out audio and technology fits inside customer cars. Staff actively encouraged to approach customers upon entering to offer a “£15 car check”. Emails to managers celebrating relative sales figures.

Amazon customer service phone agents across the world are now working from home whereas Audible are not. Office space is shared and people travelling in from all over London on public transport. Basically, it is Amazon who have the control over setting up working from home for us rather than Audible. Employees have been told we don't have to come in if we don't want to. But we are zero-hour contract workers so would not see a single penny if we decided not to. They confuse their understanding of wanting to come in and NEEDing to come in to keep a roof over our heads.	Amazon	Employee	Employee			Customer service

Boss is insulated and remote working but willing to put employees and their families at risk.	Kurt Zeidler	Ex-Employee	Zero plan put in place for virus response. Thinks virus is a joke. Hostility towards anyone who asks. Boss feels personally betrayed by employees who are concerned for their well-being. Bear in mind the Boss himself remote works from Austria where he is insulated from the worst of the virus.	Brief Timeline = Tues 10/3, Wed 11/3: employees approach management for plan to work from home, told to use personal laptops (violation of HS2 Non-Disclosure). WFH not allowed. Thurs 12/3: Employees send email imploring for WFH and laptops for remote working. Boss is furious about employee uprising and needing to spend the money. Sat 14/3: Employee with vulnerable dependents pleads with Boss to let him WFH. Request is initially denied on account that "you will catch the virus anyway when you go shopping." Thurs 19/3: Employees finally allowed to WFH. I ask to WFH from a different (safer) country with familial support. Request is denied: either I work WFH from London or leave, visiting family is "vacation". Fri 20/3: I resign to be with my family		Engineering Consultancy

Additionally, 20 days additional contingency leave have been approved for special circumstances and anyone having to self-isolate or take sick leave with symptoms does not get affected in their Bradford score. Sufficient support available and information is always shared via various channels.		Staff member (Permanent, FT)	TBH, even though we teach at a distance, it seemed that we were not quite ready for mass home-working but that got set up relatively quickly, on average. We were also allowed to take necessary IT equipment besides laptops home so monitors, keyboards, mice, docking stations, etc. We are better looked after than most, I believe, and management is doing a great job of communicating with everyone to ensure that all circumstances are allowed for.

They provide daily email updates for staff from the Managing Director (Sabby Gill) and are very supportive to any workers with dependants, offering flexible hours and paid leave. They also provided a working from home allowance of £12.50 per week for any extra costs incurred by working from home. They are making sure everyone is comfortable working from home and ensuring no one is isolated by providing any resources they can.

185	PGL	Some European	Shameful & selfish, putting staff and guests at risk. The staff were all called into group meetings on Friday afternoon (given they still had children and teachers on breaks right up to Thursday). All 'fixed term' and 'seasonal' workers given less than 24 hours notice to pack up and leave. This led to mass panic (many of the staff are young people) and the worst case of irresponsible behaviour by the Management Team I have seen. Family members and friends were forced to travel to the Isle of Wight (the centre I am specifically writing about) by ferry in order to assist with clearing of rooms and possessions - Management mandated that staff would not be permitted to leave anything behind and return later to collect. Now some of these 'Fixed Term' workers have been employed on rolling contracts by the company for 5+ years, they should have been classified as full time & permanent, but the greed of the PGL management knows that leaving them as fixed term gives them almost zero rights. Putting it into perspective, most are paid minimum wage, with a compulsory deduction for accommodation and meals. The centres are hoping these same young people will re-apply for their own jobs when they are allowed to reopen.

230	The Barbican/City of London Corporation	UK	As coronavirus hit the UK & theatres, galleries & concert venues across the UK began to close, Barbican's customer-facing staff (many casual workers with no formal contract or entitlement to sick pay) began to worry, asking management about what happens in the event of closure, feeling conflicted about advice from government about not going to large gatherings vs requirement to work with large numbers of public, concerns about self-isolating without being entitled to sick pay. Afternoon of March 14th: Email from CEO Nick Kenyon addressed to 0 hours casual staff, who expected him to address these fears. Instead, he gave week-old advice on how to wash hands and stated "Fear of catching COVID-19 is not a valid reason to miss work", with no reassurance about job or pay security as all around the sector was shutting its doors. Tuesday 17th - Casual workers see on social media that the building is closing, a couple of hours before receiving an email from management.	City of London Corporation - billionaire owners. Barbican Managing Director - Sir Nicholas Kenyon.	I work there	I work there		In the week since then there has been vague communication saying that pay would be for "shifts on the rota this week" without clarity of how long this will continue - more than 1 week? Past the 3 weeks already assigned by rota? No clarity on whether pay would be full or minimum call time, or of how this will impact staff who haven't been put on the rota but rely week-to-week on picking up shifts from others. SOME sporadic reassuring responses from individual line managers to date. Different statements made across different departments (customer experience, box office, retail, bars, art gallery) relating to job security, pay, and how much 0 hour workers are valued by Barbican & City of London. Top-level management has taken over a week "deciding" what support their vital team of hundreds of 0 hours casual staff are worthy of (if any at all) through this crisis.	Arts

Managers are desperately trying to help their teams but no one from above is helping. Clients are also receiving no help or advice, just that it’s their choice not to be in the office and they are still being forced to pay their rent and other services in full.

IE, kitchens, break-out areas are all off limits/closed. Work at your own desk, bring in your own flask, eat at your desk. No group meetings except by using remote working apps, Skype etc. Employees will continue to be paid normally, whether sick or not. If sick, it should be logged in to the HMRS system as normal. Some MoD civilians are required to work alongside the military (as in all Operational deployments) they will adopt the same military procedures and use the same PPE if required to do so. Since 2010, there is no paid overtime, only TOIL.	Part of the UK Government	Employee, https://www.gov.uk/government/news/military-stands-up-covid-support-force				Government
237	Royal Mail	UK	My partner is a postwoman for Royal Mail and all advice has been completely avoided with no company comms at all. Today - They are classed as key workers yet have no PPE until gloves were provided this morning. They are now working on their own, doing a walk per employee. This means work is doubling up as each walk or round was usually split between two people. We have no idea if they are being paid overtime as they are now working more hours. It's lubricous.	Royal Mail Group	Girlfiend is postwoman			24.03.2020 - They finally issued gloves to staff, prior to this it was business as usual with sorting rooms full of people and sharing vans. There has no comms from anyone aside from an email from the CEO last week saying they were doing all they could.	Delivery

So this is an "upgrade" to the usual allowance of a personal pizza with one topping per day. Total upgrade value is £2. £2 per day to put yourself, your family and others at significant risk.	Monte Laguna Limited	Employee	Yes		Has positioned itself as an 'Essential business' as a food delivery service. Claims to have put procedures in place to allow social distancing within stores however these are impractical at best and impossible in most stores. Drivers are supposedly required to wash their hands after each delivery but the new suggested store setup does not allow for this. Many workers will be coming to work despite being symptomatic as SSP would not cover bills. No word on use of furloughs for staff. If staff are unhappy with working in conditions they're being given unpaid leave - not even being allowed holiday approved.	Food and drink

254	Sherwin-Williams	Global	Office workers have to work remotely. Production and research staff have to come onto site and work. Shifts have been set up so that interaction between employees is reduced. Staff are still being made to take full shifts even when their work is not business critical which puts them at risk needlessly. The company refuses to let people take paid leave and refuses to use the government's 80% of pay scheme. Instead employees have to take unpaid leave or use up their holiday to isolate themselves. No arrangements have been made for people with at-risk people at home. They have to come to work, use up their holiday or go without pay. It seems like the company is using the threat of no pay to force people to come to work even when their work is not business critical or related to key sectors. This is putting people in danger so that the company can beat its competitors while they take the safer route of shutting down.		Employees	Yes			Paint

279	Miller & Carter	UK	Prior to pub/restaurant ban: Gov policy on self-isolation for those visiting Northern Italy was updated 7 days into what would have been 14 day self-isolation period for some staff members, but head office saw "no problem" with them still working because they had already been working the week prior.					Gov policy up to March 7th advised anyone who had been to northern regions in Italy to only self-isolate for 14 days if they showed symptoms. This policy was updated on March 8th so that anyone who had been in those regions in the last 2 weeks should self-isolate for 14 days regardless of symptoms. Staff who returned from holidays on Feb 29th were not advised to self-isolate for the remaining 7 days by head office. It was deemed not a problem as they had already been working since returning and had no symptoms; even though the virus can survive for 14 days and they would then be consistently putting new customers at risk.	food and drink

318	De Vere Hotels	UK	Have called their workers 'key workers' as they are essential to the running of the hotels...that are all shut down. They have been told it's business as usual for them and the board are happy for them to work as per usual. No plan of action has been shared with staff or put into place. Desks/staff are not 2 metres apart and they have to clean their own offices so nothing has been professionally disinfected or cleaned.						Hospitality
319	Qioptiq	UK	No communication until global corporate parent company issued work from home order for employees who can do so. This was then overruled locally within the UK several days later to be 'dependent on line managers permission'. Operations director will only allow staff to work 2 weeks from home before coming back in, even if entire role can be done remote. Some managers will not give any flexibility for those with caring responsibilities (one was outright told their self employed partner should take time off to look after children, instead of them working from home, and one staff living with elderly relative with chronic lung condition was only allowed to WFH when he had to self isolate due to symptoms). Essentially managers don't trust their staff to do their job properly if they're not in the office, putting people at risk.	Excelitas	Current employee	Yes			Manufacturing

322	Morrisons	UK	My dad, who is in his late 60s was due to retire the weekend before the lockdown came into play. He also has high blood pressure and is therefore at higher risk of coronavirus complications. He's also been an employee of Morrisons for over 15 years. Morrisons unilaterally cancelled his retirement, saying they needed all staff and didn't have the time or resources to train new staff members at this time. They overruled his protestations, and he felt he couldn't say no without facing repercussions for his final payments and retirement payments. They then gave him a front line customer facing job, seeing thousands of customers a week. He was coughed in the face by a customer on day one of the lockdown. As his family we're disgusted with Morrisons putting a bit more profit and the convenience of having a ready trained staff member over his health and safety.	Morrisons	personal experience	Told to me by my father			Supermarket
323	AnyVan	UK	No PPE equipment, safety measures or support to the transport drivers. Therefore no regard for the customer. They are expected to deliver as usual, without any hygiene measures. Company classing themselves as 'key workers' yet they have no reason to keep operating. They are a removals company, they don't transport key equipment. The drivers are self employed so there is nothing to support or help them. No equipment has been provided and they are expected to buy their own gloves, sanitiser etc (but most can't because there is none around). The office staff put pressure on the drivers to take jobs or there are consequences. The office staff have been told to work under any circumstance, nothing offered for sickness due to COVID-19 other than standard SSP if at the company long enough. Self employed home working staff get no support through this and will be 'let go' if the numbers drop. Still operating, nothing for self employed drivers and stiff and very little for employed.

406	Nationwide Building Society	UK	Good: we are all paid in full no matter what. Bad: no PPE (sanitizer, masks, gloves) at all for staff on the front line. Some of those classed as vulnerable still forced to come in and work on the front line with 100s of customers (Nationwide HR has it's own list of vulnerable conditions and is ignoring the gov one). Not possible to follow social distancing measures with customers or other staff due to building size/set up and company protocols. Some people are being told to use holidays instead of sick pay if isolating.			Yes. What the "official communications" say all sound brilliant.

418	Pho	UK	The information in your current document for line 149 Pho Restaurant is factually incorrect. We had to make the difficult decision to let go some of our employees given the government’s advice to the public to stop going to restaurants. We did this by phone call or in person to every single employee instead of sending one mass email. As such, because it was personal phone calls, it took a bit longer to get to everyone and the word started moving through the internal wires - some staff started to heart ‘whispers’ before they received their own call. We did what we thought was the best thing at a very difficult time - to speak to every single individual and explain the situation. We also offered each employee full paid notice in lieu. An email was sent to all employees who we let go at the end of the day to follow up on what was said in person or on the phone with more info and support on what to do next. Also on this day we issued an email and social media post to let customers know that we would have to shut our doors to eat-in dining but would continue to offer takeaway and delivery. The content of that email / social media did not mention anything about our staff - it was simply a notification of change in hours and offering for the time being. Staff were absolutely not notified of any internal communications or procedures via social media. Lastly, in light of the government’s support for businesses like Pho, we have hired back every single person who was let go - they are still on our books and we will apply for the government grant money for them.

Interserve, despite assuring the TUC they would follow this guidance, are not. The PCS has sent an email about this and they are in ongoing talks to with the civil service to have these guidelines applied to contracted workers. The idea being that contracted workers on SSP are likely to come into work if sick or vulnerable, instead of isolating, putting the civil servants at risk.			Government contract.

Lack of customer service support for people trying to get money back for their flights after border shut down.

Preferences currently being taken from all employees and then those who wish to be furloughed will be considered as the work volumes stabilise, whilst those who want to continue working hopefully can. Communication is excellent with regular updates from the CEO and senior management team. HR, H&S and Operations teams are still on site everyday to answer any concerns or questions.

480	Clipper Logistics - ASOS contract	UK	I am an employee of Clipper Logistics in Selby. I work as a warehouse operative on an Asos contract. The warehouse is still open. I am very surprised because there are a lot of employees who are afraid for their health. Some come sick, got cough, sneeze and no one checks it. Recently, there have also been cases when people returned from abroad and came to work normally. It is possible that people who are already infected and who are infecting other people already work there. After the Prime Minister's speech yesterday, I thought something would change. I understand that this is a big loss for the company but there are people working there. I don't think that closing a company for 2-3 weeks will result in its collapse. I hope the company will take more radical action because I don't think it's safe there now. And I don't think it's a essential work to survive people during the epidemic.						Retail (fashion)

Carried out tests of the network's ability for everyone to work from home to prepare for lock down. Before being instructed to, they told all staff to work from home unless it was business critical and needed the office. After lock down, all offices were formally closed. When schools were closed, staff were permitted to flex hours around childcare and those who are unable to do their contractual hours over the week are given special leave at full pay. There are update emails regularly and departments are holding weekly (and sometimes more frequently) video calls to check everyone is feeling okay.

493	Reed Specialist Recruitment	UK	Speeding up redundancy consultations for staff in their support functions (HR etc.). ALL staff have been issued with new contracts cutting their hours, and therefore their pay, by 25%. Dozens of Recruitment Consultants (fee earners) were then informed by telephone that their services were no longer needed and then were given a week's notice.

498	Colony Co-Working	Manchester-based	This isn't regarding support for employees, rather for customers. Colony operate several coworking spaces in Manchester and they've remained open at all times during the pandemic. They've also shown no flexibility to customers' contracts and have just told them to look into the government's support for small businesses. Keeping these spaces open is irresponsible but asking customers (most of which are small businesses), encourages use of the space and so is dangerous.		http://colonyco.work/				Professional Services

People had worked for the company for years and years.			Refrigerator manufacturer
503	Holland and Barrett	Global	Shocking. Check out the Holland and Barrett FB page and #hollandandbarrett. Staff told they can't say anything and I've been inundated by scared staff begging me to help them. On Friday the company told me that the rationale for staying open was so older and vulnerable people could shop with them. These are the very people the government are saying should stay at home. “ As you will have probably seen, supermarkets have been very busy, and experiencing difficulties with stock levels, across all categories. Furthermore, supermarkets are often a further drive than local stores and a significant proportion of our customers fall into the elderly and vulnerable category, where getting there isn't always possible. These customers also are less likely to use the internet to shop meaning closing our store estate as a whole would result in many of them not being able to shop for the essentials they need”. Last week staff have no hand gel, can't be 2m away from each other as many shops are too small. Staff with a vulnerable child or partner told they must work or get no pay, staff with asthma told the same. They even told me that GPs and nurses refer people worried about their immune system to them and that they provide a valuable service. These people should be at home.	tonybuffin@hollandandbarrett.com	Many staff members see #hollandandbarrett and the Holland and Barrett FB page	Yes - lot and lots see #hollandandbarrett and the Holland and Barrett FB page			Food and drink

Furthermore, Better also emailed gym members to encourage gym and pool use to stay active during the pandemic. They have reduced classes by 50% - unclear if they are still paying instructors whose hours have been cut.	Local councils	https://www.leisurecentre.com/coronavirus; https://www.pwtag.org/novel-coronavirus-covid-19-latest-information-2/	I'm not a worker, I'm a gym member who was very disappointed by their response whereby they are encouraging more people down to the gym, putting gym goers and employees at risk. They cited PWTAG advice that 'chlorine within the swimming pools will inactivate the virus.' However, they have omitted the next part of that advice which states 'Of concern, though, is the interaction that pool users have with each other beyond the swimming activity.' The selective omission of this advice serves to justify their decision to encourage members to the pool/gym while putting members and staff at risk of increased non essential contact with others.

They claim all roles can only be done in the office however the majority of employees have laptops and mobiles and are able to conduct their duties remotely. The reason that employees are still going into the office is because Lyca only pays 3 days sick leave per annum, anything more than this and you don’t get paid. During the course of the virus outbreak there have been a number of cases of employees displaying symptoms of the virus, instead of sending these employees home, Lycamobile moved them to a different floor in their building away from the main office....they were still happy for them to come to work though and share communal zones. The only thing Lyca has done for its employees during this outbreak is to offer free parking If an employee doesn’t want to use public transport. They are expecting all employees to turn up for work on Monday. A number of employees have submitted requests for Home working but these have either been ignored or refused.

Not until past midnight did they send an email to everyone saying there has been a confirmed coronavirus case in the building, but this was not seen by anyone because we have no access to work email outside the office. Someone who saw the email on Tuesday morning shared it with everyone. No one wanted to enter the building, mangers were working from home. We are all agency workers, but not on 0h contract. Some left home, some didn't even show up because they guessed the reason for everyone being sent home on Monday. Building had been deep cleaned, but we all demanded to immediately self-isolate. They clearly didn't want us to do that, but had no choice because we refused to enter the building. They wanted us to keep working like nothing had happened and clearly were not taking it seriously enough. Everyone was sent home eventually. After this reaction has been better. We were promised full pay for the entire week, even though we were just home doing nothing. We got computers shipped to our homes early this week and managers are clearly taking this much more seriously now, and are flexible with times if we need to go shopping etc.		This is entirely internal, I cannot provide any	Please see reaction and support response.

Those with children are allowed a week off work but then must return or use their holidays, or ask to have shift patterns rearranged. Staff are being sent home because the stores are so quiet. A positive is that if you are self isolating you will be paid for 2 weeks, and not have to wait for the 3 day grace period for payment to kick in.

The staff were all called into group meetings on Friday afternoon (given they still had children and teachers on breaks right up to Thursday). All 'fixed term' and 'seasonal' workers given less than 24 hours notice to pack up and leave. This led to mass panic (many of the staff are young people) and the worst case of irresponsible behaviour by the Management Team I have seen. Family members and friends were forced to travel to the Isle of Wight (the centre I am specifically writing about) by ferry in order to assist with clearing of rooms and possessions - Management mandated that staff would not be permitted to leave anything behind and return later to collect. Now some of these 'Fixed Term' workers have been employed on rolling contracts by the company for 5+ years, they should have been classified as full time & permanent, but the greed of the PGL management knows that leaving them as fixed term gives them almost zero rights. Putting it into perspective, most are paid minimum wage, with a compulsory deduction for accommodation and meals. The centres are hoping these same young people will re-apply for their own jobs when they are allowed to reopen.

262	3/24/2020 11:12:48	The Barbican/City of London Corporation	Bad	UK	As coronavirus hit the UK & theatres, galleries & concert venues across the UK began to close, Barbican's customer-facing staff (many casual workers with no formal contract or entitlement to sick pay) began to worry, asking management about what happens in the event of closure, feeling conflicted about advice from government about not going to large gatherings vs requirement to work with large numbers of public, concerns about self-isolating without being entitled to sick pay. Afternoon of March 14th: Email from CEO Nick Kenyon addressed to 0 hours casual staff, who expected him to address these fears. Instead, he gave week-old advice on how to wash hands and stated "Fear of catching COVID-19 is not a valid reason to miss work", with no reassurance about job or pay security as all around the sector was shutting its doors. Tuesday 17th - Casual workers see on social media that the building is closing, a couple of hours before receiving an email from management. In the week since then there has been vague communication saying that pay would be for "shifts on the rota this week" without clarity of how long this will continue - more than 1 week? Past the 3 weeks already assigned by rota? No clarity on whether pay would be full or minimum call time, or of how this will impact staff who haven't been put on the rota but rely week-to-week on picking up shifts from others. SOME sporadic reassuring responses from individual line managers to date. Different statements made across different departments (customer experience, box office, retail, bars, art gallery) relating to job security, pay, and how much 0 hour workers are valued by Barbican & City of London. Top-level management has taken over a week "deciding" what support their vital team of hundreds of 0 hours casual staff are worthy of (if any at all) through this crisis.

272	3/24/2020 12:59:54	Ministry of Defence	Good	UK	Ministry of Defence civilian employees (are one of the few Civil Servants on key-worker list) are WFH or sharing duties in military establishments; only if they can effectively socially distance in the work environment. IE, kitchens, break-out areas are all off limits/closed. Work at your own desk, bring in your own flask, eat at your desk. No group meetings except by using remote working apps, Skype etc. Employees will continue to be paid normally, whether sick or not. If sick, it should be logged in to the HMRS system as normal. Some MoD civilians are required to work alongside the military (as in all Operational deployments) they will adopt the same military procedures and use the same PPE if required to do so. Since 2010, there is no paid overtime, only TOIL.

273	3/24/2020 13:41:46	Royal Mail	Bad	UK	My partner is a postwoman for Royal Mail and all advice has been completely avoided with no company comms at all. Today - 24.03.2020 - They finally issued gloves to staff, prior to this it was business as usual with sorting rooms full of people and sharing vans. There has no comms from anyone aside from an email from the CEO last week saying they were doing all they could. It's ridiculous, my partner is asthmatic which they are aware of and nothing was said, done or communicated whatsoever. They are classed as key workers yet have no PPE until gloves were provided this morning. They are now working on their own, doing a walk per employee. This means work is doubling up as each walk or round was usually split between two people. We have no idea if they are being paid overtime as they are now working more hours. It's lubricous.

My partner is a broadcast support centre engineer - I've seen him work from home in the past and it's entirely possible for him to do his job remotely, but he's been told that if he's scheduled to be on shift, he has to go in.

303	3/24/2020 19:56:12	Sherwin-Williams	Bad	Global	Office workers have to work remotely. Production and research staff have to come onto site and work. Shifts have been set up so that interaction between employees is reduced. Staff are still being made to take full shifts even when their work is not business critical which puts them at risk needlessly. The company refuses to let people take paid leave and refuses to use the government's 80% of pay scheme. Instead employees have to take unpaid leave or use up their holiday to isolate themselves. No arrangements have been made for people with at-risk people at home. They have to come to work, use up their holiday or go without pay. It seems like the company is using the threat of no pay to force people to come to work even when their work is not business critical or related to key sectors. This is putting people in danger so that the company can beat its competitors while they take the safer route of shutting down.		Employees	Yes	Paint

Claims to have put procedures in place to allow social distancing within stores however these are impractical at best and impossible in most stores. Drivers are supposedly required to wash their hands after each delivery but the new suggested store setup does not allow for this. Many workers will be coming to work despite being symptomatic as SSP would not cover bills. No word on use of furloughs for staff.

Gov policy up to March 7th advised anyone who had been to northern regions in Italy to only self-isolate for 14 days if they showed symptoms. This policy was updated on March 8th so that anyone who had been in those regions in the last 2 weeks should self-isolate for 14 days regardless of symptoms. Staff who returned from holidays on Feb 29th were not advised to self-isolate for the remaining 7 days by head office. It was deemed not a problem as they had already been working since returning and had no symptoms; even though the virus can survive for 14 days and they would then be consistently putting new customers at risk.

He also has high blood pressure and is therefore at higher risk of coronavirus complications. He's also been an employee of Morrisons for over 15 years. Morrisons unilaterally cancelled his retirement, saying they needed all staff and didn't have the time or resources to train new staff members at this time. They overruled his protestations, and he felt he couldn't say no without facing repercussions for his final payments and retirement payments. They then gave him a front line customer facing job, seeing thousands of customers a week. He was coughed in the face by a customer on day one of the lockdown. As his family we're disgusted with Morrisons putting a bit more profit and the convenience of having a ready trained staff member over his health and safety.

They are expected to deliver as usual, without any hygiene measures. Company classing themselves as 'key workers' yet they have no reason to keep operating. They are a removals company, they don't transport key equipment. The drivers are self employed so there is nothing to support or help them. No equipment has been provided and they are expected to buy their own gloves, sanitiser etc (but most can't because there is none around). The office staff put pressure on the drivers to take jobs or there are consequences. The office staff have been told to work under any circumstance, nothing offered for sickness due to COVID-19 other than standard SSP if at the company long enough. Self employed home working staff get no support through this and will be 'let go' if the numbers drop. Still operating, nothing for self employed drivers and stiff and very little for employed.

533	3/26/2020 16:16:35	Pho	Good	UK	The information in your current document for line 149 Pho Restaurant is factually incorrect. We had to make the difficult decision to let go some of our employees given the government’s advice to the public to stop going to restaurants. We did this by phone call or in person to every single employee instead of sending one mass email. As such, because it was personal phone calls, it took a bit longer to get to everyone and the word started moving through the internal wires - some staff started to heart ‘whispers’ before they received their own call. We did what we thought was the best thing at a very difficult time - to speak to every single individual and explain the situation. We also offered each employee full paid notice in lieu. An email was sent to all employees who we let go at the end of the day to follow up on what was said in person or on the phone with more info and support on what to do next. Also on this day we issued an email and social media post to let customers know that we would have to shut our doors to eat-in dining but would continue to offer takeaway and delivery. The content of that email / social media did not mention anything about our staff - it was simply a notification of change in hours and offering for the time being. Staff were absolutely not notified of any internal communications or procedures via social media. Lastly, in light of the government’s support for businesses like Pho, we have hired back every single person who was let go - they are still on our books and we will apply for the government grant money for them.

These are being delivered into Waitrose stores for collection by the customers. Due to this partnership with Waitrose, warehouse staff are apparently 'key workers'.

Interserve Group LTD	https://www.pcs.org.uk/news/coronavirus-pcs-demands-urgent-talks-with-non-civil-service-employers	Having approached Interserve myself I have been assured that I would only be paid SSP despite needing to self isolate due to being at risk of serious infection. I could not afford 12 weeks on SSP, and the DWP are telling their employees to self isolate for 12 weeks with full pay to avoid the crisis. Interserve, despite assuring the TUC they would follow this guidance, are not. The PCS has sent an email about this and they are in ongoing talks to with the civil service to have these guidelines applied to contracted workers. The idea being that contracted workers on SSP are likely to come into work if sick or vulnerable, instead of isolating, putting the civil servants at risk.	Government contract.

I'm aware of receptionists in a CLOSED reception who have to come to work despite having no work. A full security staff is in place, and non-essential office admin workers are still there.

Reduced opening times are purely to cover isolation, not our h&s. Only those with symptoms or Covid-19 are looked after(ie pay). Parents with children who cannot get childcare are given the option of come to work or no pay. Worked with a heavily pregnant women who told me her manager said she could go home but with no pay. Currently working with someones who's partner has received a 12 week isolation letter and nothing is said or done by management, working with people who have illnesses and on medication. Screwfix are doing the absolute minimum in regards to staff. Staff are forced to move between stores to keep them open as long as possible. Still sold a lot of non essential products for over 2 days whilst they 'looked' at the website. It is impossible to stay 2 meters away from other employees in the warehouse, far too many staff members all crammed into an 8-4 shift, wont entertain reduced hours for full timers or management to help reduce traffic of staff(Must fulfill contracted hours). But don't worry, customers are still able to collect their tins of paint whilst keeping a 2 metre distance, we look absolutely fantastic from the outside....

Advise was to sit workers away from each other (leave an empty desk between each worker), but this isn't being adhered to.

Roys has been pretty good on the whole though. High-risk members of staff were sent home straight away. Workers who can work from home now are. Social distancing measures have been put in place (except people keep ignoring them!!), hand sanitiser at all the tills, they seem to keep trying to improve this. 1 hour for vulnerable customers in the larger stores. Non-essential stores now closed and employees affected can work in essential areas at full pay.	Ed & Paul Roy	Work there	Me	Supermarket

In China and Australia where there aren’t any government bailouts yet. Already made 650 people redundant.			We’re putting 574 people on furlough and using emergency government funds to pay them even though we have money, no debt and plenty of reserves. People are stressing here, quite a few employees now have the virus. People are scared for their jobs. Some people are being forced to still work as they are classed as “essential” workers. Our chairman... (multimillionaire. 3 houses. 2 kids in a private school. Owns several cars. Has a private chef, two PAs and a chauffeur - complete with his own Knight frank branded black cab)... is using this as a PR opportunity to ensure we are still forefront in the real estate media. He legit just did a interview for the Financial Times and at no point talks about his staff. Just real estate. And making money. In China and Australia where there aren’t any government bailouts yet. We already made 650 people redundant.	Residential/Commercial estate agents

RLTC	Employee	Riding Lights have done everything to make sure we can still exist, despite being one of the UKs longest running theatre companies, they are not a well off company, and the company itself has had to shrink in the last few years. Despite that, they've treated all employees with the upmost respect. As a tour booker, my job quickly became unbooking tours, and then nothing, but they have found more work for me in a different department and been reassuring.

Office workers sitting at least 3 desks apart at all times. All those vulnerable/high risk have been furloughed (80%) as per Government guidelines. Preferences currently being taken from all employees and then those who wish to be furloughed will be considered as the work volumes stabilise, whilst those who want to continue working hopefully can. Communication is excellent with regular updates from the CEO and senior management team. HR, H&S and Operations teams are still on site everyday to answer any concerns or questions.

626	3/27/2020 14:28:17	The Range	Bad	UK	Failed to provide any cleaning ppe for staff - anything provided for staff was purchased by employees or store management. No pay for the vulnerable staff, having to isolate on zero pay. Introducing freezers and fridges last minute to all stores to ensure each store was classed as an essential store. Still promoting and selling items like patio sets, hot tubs. Taking far to long to implement social distancing. Staffing levels down to 50% in some stores and yet they claim they are supporting the staff but have made minimal to no effort to help them. Head office staff all sent home to isolate but shop floor staff having to remain working (largely against their will).	Chris Dawson	Employee		Retail Homewares

629	3/27/2020 15:45:08	Clipper Logistics - ASOS contract	Bad	UK	I am an employee of Clipper Logistics in Selby. I work as a warehouse operative on an Asos contract. The warehouse is still open. I am very surprised because there are a lot of employees who are afraid for their health. Some come sick, got cough, sneeze and no one checks it. Recently, there have also been cases when people returned from abroad and came to work normally. It is possible that people who are already infected and who are infecting other people already work there. After the Prime Minister's speech yesterday, I thought something would change. I understand that this is a big loss for the company but there are people working there. I don't think that closing a company for 2-3 weeks will result in its collapse. I hope the company will take more radical action because I don't think it's safe there now. And I don't think it's a essential work to survive people during the epidemic.				Retail (fashion)

Before being instructed to, they told all staff to work from home unless it was business critical and needed the office. After lock down, all offices were formally closed. When schools were closed, staff were permitted to flex hours around childcare and those who are unable to do their contractual hours over the week are given special leave at full pay. There are update emails regularly and departments are holding weekly (and sometimes more frequently) video calls to check everyone is feeling okay.

654	3/28/2020 20:50:30	Next Retail	Good	Global	I am submitting an entry here purely because I feel the current entries for Next are a little unfair. I am an employee of Next, I work within their Head Office - and whilst their reaction wasn't exactly perfect, it was by far not an awful response. First and foremost, Head Office. ---- For years we have been told we can't work from home, around early March when it became evident that Covid-19 was a more serious problem in the UK the originally thought, measures for the workforce to Work From Home were being put together. By the following week, WFH measures were introduced and half the workforce was told to work from home. In line with what the Gov were saying at the time, Next immediately highlighted all high-risk employees and asked them to work from home with immediate effect. The week after, the vast majority of staff at Head Office were told to work from home. There is a small crew of people working in the Office, however, they are around to ensure computers remain on and critical servers remain available. There have been daily emails reminding employees to distance themselves, aswell as clear distancing tape over Head Office to enforce 2m distance between employees. Finally, Head Office were provided with hand sanitiser and disinfectant for desks, available to all to use. Next Retail Stores: ---- There is false information on this spreadsheet currently that states the Mid Season Sale went ahead in stores, this is untrue. Next did not run the sale in stores, instead opting for an "online only event". You can see evidence of this on Social Networks and news outlets. Next stated they would honour sale prices in store, however, no advertisements nor promotion for sales instore were made. Next closed all of their retail stores on Monday 23rd March. As far as I understand, instore staff are being paid per the 80% govt. scheme. Next Distribution: ---- This is perhaps the biggest blunder for Next. Their Warehouse remained open, supporting the Online sale. There are reports of fellow colleagues who worked at these centres being within close proximity of eachother, and being expected to work. Thankfully, owing to pressure from employees and the public, Next shut down Online Operations, cancelled outstanding orders and have closed their distribution network. I agree Next should have been quicker, however, I do believe context is necessary. Next is a very large company, and Next Retail, Head Office and Distribution all have different management structures. To my mind, this is why the response from Next was not prompt and consistent across all areas of the business. Following COVID-19, the board have plenty to think about and I hope this sparks change in the way the business is managed across the board to ensure a consistent business response is possible in the future.	-	I work for their Head Office in Leicester		Retail (fashion)

659	3/29/2020 9:33:04	Holland and Barrett	Bad	Global	Shocking. Check out the Holland and Barrett FB page and #hollandandbarrett. Staff told they can't say anything and I've been inundated by scared staff begging me to help them. On Friday the company told me that the rationale for staying open was so older and vulnerable people could shop with them. These are the very people the government are saying should stay at home. “ As you will have probably seen, supermarkets have been very busy, and experiencing difficulties with stock levels, across all categories. Furthermore, supermarkets are often a further drive than local stores and a significant proportion of our customers fall into the elderly and vulnerable category, where getting there isn't always possible. These customers also are less likely to use the internet to shop meaning closing our store estate as a whole would result in many of them not being able to shop for the essentials they need”. Last week staff have no hand gel, can't be 2m away from each other as many shops are too small. Staff with a vulnerable child or partner told they must work or get no pay, staff with asthma told the same. They even told me that GPs and nurses refer people worried about their immune system to them and that they provide a valuable service. These people should be at home.	tonybuffin@hollandandbarrett.com	Many staff members see #hollandandbarrett and the Holland and Barrett FB page	Yes - lot and lots see #hollandandbarrett and the Holland and Barrett FB page	Food and drink

Left 16 locations open as they were high profits, but head office had already begun working from home as they deemed it to be unsafe. Hours were more than halved for full time workers in the run up to the closure, part timers lost all hours. Everyone who isn't salaried is on a zero hour contract, head office has been monitoring known staff members social medias and reprimanding for complaints that don't include the company name. Long standing employees asking for copies of contract to see social media policy, never recieved copies. No extra PPE for staff, or new cleaning materials for the kitchens. Only when the retention scheme was announced, everyone who has been laid off was furloughed, along with staff of the remaining 16 when they were ordered to close. Haven't recieved our daily update from head office since wednesday 25th (it's now the 29th) and there has been no mention of us recieving any pay before the retention scheme begins at the end of april. At that point, we'll have gone over a month without pay when its normally weekly. in store tesco kiosks are only starting to close a week after lockdown. Non branded but still owned kiosks Sushi Gourmet in Sainsburys and Panku in Asda are both still operational.	Simon Woodroffe (Sold yo!Sushi but still owns the parent Yo!

The rest is from me being a current employee of one of the 16 restaruants that was open till the end.	As restaurant teams, our managers are fab and did everything they could. Feel supported by our ops managers too. Everything that is HQ based feels very much like they left the restaurant staff to the virus, both economically and literally. By the time the government shutdown happened, we were one of the only units in our outdoor shopping centre still open. Visually, you couldn't see anything else open, it was just us, serving food and making bodily contact with customers to give it to them due to the nature of the restaurant.	Food and drink

Parents who needed to stay at home after school closures can have hours to work around if possible but with standard retails hours, this is unlikely to be available so they then need to take holiday or unpaid leave. Staff encouraged to cut hours and take unpaid leave to help the business (3 O'Neills have significant control on Companies House and paid £500,000 in divdends last year, but sure, have your staff take on the burden of reducing costs for you) Unclear of payment or support for zero hour employees.

In the lead up to closing the store, we were not allowed to use protection in dealing with customers, the management were saying that the only way they will consider closing was when a member of staff is diagnosed with the covid-19 virus. I see Waterstones have treated their staff in the same manner as Heals have. The admin and members of head office and E-commerce staff at Heals were sent to work from home 2 weeks before, (9th of March) Whilst the showroom and "Downstairs" were made to continue to work. I understand that this is a small/medium size company and was not been given clear information on how the staff will continue to get paid or when exactly to close the doors ( as this is not the hospitality sector). Putting staff on the line in this way and exposing them to covid-19 virus was keeping them hostages to the situation and surely in some way a crime?

Things have been better since then; but communications with students on teaching arrangements and general decision-making has not been great.		Employee		Education

As Londons biggest residential development agency they are adding thousands of works to the tube and putting staff in danger. They are not providing any PPE and they still have staff requesting access to apartments for contractor works that are not essential during the government lockdown. They have instructed us that if a resident is in self isolation or self quarantine they are to leave there rubbish which is a vio hazard.in the corridor and staff have to go and collect it with no PPE provided. They could close all public areas to the public only have staff attend on days that are needed for H&S checks wich can be carried out on a single day. The government have offered to cover 80% of staff wages but they still refuse to close. They put the client, residents, deliveries and everybody else above there own staff.	Hospitality

Not known if salaried staff are now on this system, however, before its release salaried staff where told they were to receive only 50% of their salary for the next month. Initially told match-day staff were receiving nothing and to claim ‘Universal Credit’. After a large number of employees emailed in stating the furlong system is for all, match day staff are to receive payment for 3 games. Despite there being more in the month of April. Non-match day staff (cleaners, cellar team, warehouse team, logistics etc), literally heard nothing regarding their loss of earnings. For every match a non-match employee receives at least 4 days work, so 5 including the match day. But for the entire month of April they will receive 80% of the equivalent of 3 match days.

Senior leadership had a finger on the pulse and started updating the company on an early basis. With the company providing flexible working conditions and allowing regular home working scenarios the company easily made the transition to ask the majority of the workforce to do so. This allowed continued work for the company and showing that the staff are number 1 priority. The company works hard to provide the best H&S conditions. As the company embraces WFH the technology was already in place to move fast and be agile. 2 weeks after Boris' initial urge to WFH a majority of the business has been placed in furlough. Overall a positive experience for a huge company. The technology and support of the senior managers, heads and VP/board level has been totally transparent in this. Although the distribution centre staff are still working and ensuring the business is continuing to operate. Hat tip to them.	Business to Business Industrial and Electronics Supplier

759	4/3/2020 13:52:03	Nationwide Building Society	Good	UK	The reaction has been hampered by difficulty getting hand sanitiser (because NHS obviously take priority) but I can confirm they tried 16 different suppliers. However, the actions put in place are phenomenal. In head office/admin centres everyone who is not classified as a key worker is not at work (or working from home if they have a laptop). Everyone sits at least 2m apart (but some of the stupid people then go and congregate around a table for lunch), all food is free as are hot drinks. Hand sanitiser is by entrance (and only one entrance is open to control flow). Every desk occupied is cleaned on request of the user as frequently as requested. Shifts have been split to reduce contact further. Branches have been more tricky due to location but hand sanitiser has been ordered. All staff have been told if they source their own costs will be refunded. Every branch given a weekly allowance to 'treat' the staff and opening hours reduced to reduce impact to staff. Members are coming into the branch for non-essential transactions (e.g. empty money box for kids) and branch staff have been empowered to refuse non-essential transactions. Anyone who uses public transport has been offered the use of paid for taxis. Everyone also told that if they do not feel safe it is OK to say so and not come in! Nationwide is getting 100 times the normal call volumes and people are volunteering to cover member facing roles, not forced! No-one has been told they have to take holiday if they're on self-isolation but it has been recommended that people do take their holiday as they would have normally because soldiering on through who knows how long without a break would not happen under normal circumstance, never mind the stressful situations people are working in. Laptops are being sourced and more and more people are being allocated them to allow home working. Tests have been undertaken and they are now rolling out the ability to take member phone calls at home so that coming into office is not required.

789	4/7/2020 18:50:09	Hunters Estate Agents	Bad	UK	They have furloughed their current staff, but not willing to reemploy an ex employee of 9 years through the furlough scheme. Even though I was employed until 12th March 2020.	Kevin Hollinrake and Glynis Frew		I worked for them for 9 years and was bullied out of the organisation. I officially left on 12th March. Unfortunately my new role could not furlough me so had to let me go. I have since gone back to my old employer (Hunters Estate Agents) and they are refusing to furlough me due to employment law issues. Even though I have offered to sign a disclaimer stating I do not expect any redundancy pay or benefits at the end of the furlough period.	Estate Agent

He has told ticket holders currently suffering with coronavirus or have lost loved ones to it, that they can't have an extension on the refund deadline.
