The 29 part-time and occasional staff made redundant by Peterhead have returned to the club’s payroll following the extension of the UK Government’s job retention scheme. With the furlough initiative set to end on October 31 the Blue Toon announced a fortnight ago that they would be letting 29 members of staff go at the end of the month. But last week the job retention scheme was extended until March with the 29 Peterhead staff now returning to being furloughed. Peterhead described the last 10 days as “confusing and stressful” with a number of other staff positions having to be placed in the “at risk” category. We’ve been doing it that way for the last 129 years and we have every intention of continuing on that basis.”
