i have PMR can i ask my employer to furlough me?

If you are going out to work then obviously with PMR you are more at risk than others. What dose are you on - how long?

Do you need to socially distance - or shielding?

If you’re working from home - then not really.

It is the employers decisions furlough. The first step is can you work from home if so given we are at higher risk the employer should agree. If you cannot work fro. Home raise your concerns. As a health and safety issue. Your employer has to do a risk assessment and if they cannot reassure you can furlough you.

Hope this helps

This is advice from the gov re employees and whether you may be covered by retention scheme, but you do need to discuss this with your employer.
