Gordon Ramsay is using the taxpayer-funded furlough wage scheme to pay axed staff their notice, according to reports. The TV chef has sparked fury by telling those facing the axe that they can apply for lower-paid jobs.
Gordon's companies axed 500 workers as restaurants and pubs were told to shut their doors in March. It's claimed he laid off many staff without using the furlough scheme.
Now an email seen by The Sun on Sunday, it shows the scheme is being used to pay some staff as they work their notice. The message was reportedly sent by Gordon Ramsay Restaurants’ HR Director Sarah Anderson to a London-based worker.
