I've been in business almost 20 years. In that time I have made some bad decisions. I've employed people who I shouldn't have by overestimating my ability to recruit [The Dunning-Kruger effect].

Employees who are shielding can be furloughed to mitigate the financial impact on them of having to shield (subject to meeting the qualifying rules of the furlough scheme).
