Give employees a way to claim 80% CJRS furlough when their employers refuse to

My employer is refusing to apply for the 80% CJRS furlough payment on my behalf citing 2 reasons why not (both invalid). I (and probably thousands of others) need a system whereby they can claim in their own right.

You may wish to sign some of these petitions:

Remove firms discretion and obligate firms to furlough employees where eligible: Remove firms discretion and obligate firms to furlough employees where eligible.

Allow employees to claim the 80% income support directly from the Government: Allow employees to claim the 80% income support directly from the Government
