Change the RTI submission date to support thousands of UK employees.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Help change the RTI submission date to support thousands of UK employees to qualify for the furlough scheme. The furlough scheme has changed, but the RTI submission dates still stops employees from being furloughed.

Changing the RTI date will allow myself, thousands of my colleagues and possibly thousands of other people to retain their jobs. Due to not being furloughed, we are being made redundant.
