After the recent economic downturn, employers in the woodworking and joinery industry may still be finding they do not have enough work for their employees, but would prefer to lay-off staff rather than start a compulsory redundancy programme. If you do choose to lay-off an employee, then they will be entitled to £21.20 per day (£22.20 from 1 February 2011) in statutory guarantee pay from the employer, for a maximum of five workless days in any three month period (giving a maximum guarantee payment of £106, or £111 from 1 February 2011) .
