Fears have been growing many thousands of people could be made redundant as the furlough scheme gradually phases out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Sunday, employers will have to contribute 20 per cent towards the wages of furloughed staff which rises from 10 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a survey suggests one in five companies still using the furlough scheme are planning to let staff go as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Treasury is also preparing to fully end the scheme by October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Chamber of Commerce (BCC) polled 250 businesses with employees still on furlough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of those, 18 per cent said they were now more inclined to make staff redundant while 25 per cent would decrease working hours or move staff to part-time patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite these concerns, almost 40 per cent said the change would have no impact on the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Official data shows 1.9 million people were still furloughed by the end of June, a decrease from 2.4 million a month earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jane Gratton from the British Chamber of Commerce (BCC) said: “Today\u2019s changes to the furlough scheme will likely result in many thousands of people being released back into the labour market, as employers who are still struggling to recover from the recession are forced to make redundancies and cuts to working hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“With widespread skills shortages across the economy, some will find new jobs where their skills are in demand, while others will need to retrain for opportunities in a different sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Whether furloughed workers are returning to the workplace or the wider labour market, it is crucial that employers and the government give them the support and training they need to be re-engaged and productive.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes after Rishi Sunak was told to apologise for \u201cprematurely\u201d withdrawing the furlough scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of Mr Sunak\u2019s visit to Edinburgh Glasgow and Fife this week, SNP\u2019s shadow chancellor Alison Thewliss urged him to explain \u201cwhy he is short-changing us on youth jobs\u201d and going ahead with Universal Credit cuts that will \u201cplunge half a million people into poverty\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Thewliss called on Mr Sunak \u201cto apologise to the people and businesses here for withdrawing furlough support prematurely and risking thousands of unnecessary redundancies\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She went on: \u201cI would urge Rishi Sunak to explain to the people of Scotland why he is short-changing us on youth jobs, and ploughing ahead with Universal Credit cuts that will undermine the Scottish Child Payment and plunge half a million people into poverty, when at the same time he can find \u00a3250 million for a UK Government yacht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is increasingly clear that the only way to keep Scotland safe from Tory austerity is to become an independent country with the full powers needed to protect jobs and secure a strong, fair and progressive recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
