I wonder, if you are furloughed, are you still allowed to take paid gigs on? Wouldn’t that be like working while collecting unemployment checks?
- Depends on your contract I guess.webazoot
- Here in the UK they are still working out the self employed grant system. That says;webazoot
- 'If you receive the grant you can continue to work or take on other employment including voluntary work.'webazoot
- Not here in Canada. You can’t take the funds if you make even $100Gnash
- If or when I get furloughed, I'm going to work on a farm under the table.ShenanigansTV

Any UK self-employed types taking up the latest grant?
- If you've lost a retainer type client due to covid in March, I guess can you still claim to be affected by that now?Fax_Benson

Good links. Have you seen this...
https://www.ipse.co.uk/ipse-news…Norway are willing to pay freelancers 80% of their three year average income.
That's pretty generous.

Seeing more firms advertising for furloughed freelancers only - with no indication as to their own financial status. Just saw a swanky brand asking for an identity for a new venture to be designed, for free, by a furloughed 'volunteer'
definitely seems to be a trend of those at the bottom doing what they can, and those at the top getting what they can.
- self-employed freelancers without an employer to furlough them now losing out on work they might have had to furloughed full-timers..Fax_Benson
