Staff Updates

Its now 14 days since we layed you off and we agreed to review the situation today, unfortunately we have little to report as there seems no hope of us opening again anytime soon, due to government enforcement. To enable Amerton Farm to pay the 80% of your wages, we need to make a change to your contract. You will receive a letter via email in the next couple of days (which you will receive on or before Friday 3rd April 2020), where you will be required to reply stating clearly, that you understand Amerton Farm Ltd, are making the

Amerton Farm Ltd are sending you this text to update on current information regarding wages. At present I have no details re: changing employee's status from lay off to furlough. I have been told to advise staff, we will pay you as per the job retention scheme and as soon I have any details I will be in touch. We understand staff will get 80% of their normal monthly pay at your next pay day. I still have a number of emails to reply to from staff, which I apologise we have not yet achieved, but I hope to be

Following Boris broadcast tonight, I feel we have no other option but to close the site except for the Food Hall. Only 2 customers at time are allowed in the food hall and customers need to wait on the car park observing social distancing of 2 metres. I cannot stop tenants having access to your units. However, I feel we cannot do anything else but to stop appointment by arrangements. This is something I had truly hoped we could avoid. Let's hope this can be resolved as soon as possible. Please stay safe and well. Eunice Finney

As from Monday 23rd March 2020, Amerton Farm will be operating a food service from the Food Hall, which is a ring and collect service. For orders please phone Nick the Fish (Tuesdays and Fridays) on 07966472539 and Dan and Emily for butchery, bakery and other goods on 07957995737. Take care and stay safe.

Good Afternoon All We hope you are all well. Due to the temporary closure of Amerton Farm, we have suspended When I Work. This gives us a little bit of flexibility with finances and it also gives us time to research and implement a new (UK based) shift platform provider. Your line manager will contact you directly regarding any shifts in the coming weeks. Please stay safe!

To all staff We have been working all day trying to sort out standing orders and loans. We are all at breaking point as I am sure you are right now. This is such a worrying time and I did not believe we would ever have to lay staff off.   Just to explain fully about the situation regarding wages: A staff member can request to take up to a week’s holiday pay if you have it and it has been accrued. You need to request this holiday in writing by email to office@amertonfarm.co.uk . You as an employee will

All Staff It is a very difficult time that we find ourselves in at the moment. I am sending you this text message as Today’s Amerton Farm Update. As a small family run business we want our business to continue to thrive once this dreadful virus has been defeated. The only thing I can liken this to is Foot and Mouth, but this affects everyone, not just rural areas. The Directors need to make some tough commercial decisions in the coming days. If any staff members have vulnerable family or personal health issues we are urging you to put yourself first. The
