unstar this property answer text <p>The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme is designed to help employers whose operations have been severely affected by coronavirus (COVID-19) to retain their employees and protect the UK economy. Employers can claim for employees on any type of employment contract, including full-time, part-time, agency, flexible or zero hours contracts.</p><p> </p><p>In this unprecedented time, we would urge employers and agencies to take socially responsible decisions and listen to the concerns of their workforce. Employers and employees, including casual workers, should come to a pragmatic agreement about these arrangements. We have been clear that employers should carefully consider the guidance.</p><p> </p><p>However, the scheme is not an employment right and it is up to the employer to decide who to furlough.</p><p> </p><p>Normal redundancy rules and payments apply while an employee is furloughed. The employee will maintain rights to redundancy payments and against unfair dismissal during the period of furlough. Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme grants cannot be used to substitute redundancy payments.</p>

unstar this property answer text <p>There are provisions relating to price transparency, metering and billing of district heating networks in the Heat Network (Metering and Billing) Regulations 2014. There is also a requirement for energy costs to be provided in a format which enables customers to compare the charges of different energy suppliers. A voluntary code called HeatTrust was established last year by the industry trade association, with the support of Government, to improve customer protection in this sector. HeatTrust has recently launched an on-line price comparator tool for heat network customers.</p><p>Heat network customers are covered by general consumer protection, competition and contract law as well as tenancy law where relevant.</p> more like this
