Holiday firm Butlin's warns staff '1,000 jobs are at risk of being axed when furlough scheme ends in October'
Holiday firm Butlin's has warned staff that 1,000 jobs are at risk of being axed after the end of the furlough scheme in October.
The firm is currently operating at half of its usual capacity and hasn't made a decision about workers on the government's Job Retention Scheme.
A document sent to staff suggests employees will either take paid holiday - if they have any remaining - or unpaid leave if not, the BBC reported.

The furlough scheme is due to end on October 31 and the Government has ruled out any plans to extend it, while Chancellor Rishi Sunak has said he is 'open to creative ideas'
The firm told The Sun it is aiming to get their team back to work as soon as they can.
It added: 'We are working closely with UK Hospitality and the government to understand the implications of these constantly changing national circumstances.'

Up to 70 per cent of wages are currently covered by the scheme, with bosses paying 10 percent and national insurance and pension contributions.
Employers will be required to pay 20 per cent of employees' wages from October 1, while the Government will continue to pay the remaining 60 per cent.
Butlin's was opened in 1936, when Billy Butlin bought a plot of land in Skegness to make a British seaside break accessible to all.
He wanted families to feel cared for while they were away and built a team - now known as Redcoats - to set the standard for providing brilliant service to guests.
Butlin's has three resorts located in the seaside towns of Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness.
They host entertainment and activities throughout the day to keep the whole family entertained, from workouts to live shows.
The Bognor Regis resort in West Sussex borders the South Downs National Park and has three hotels and a new family pool.
Minehead is the largest of the three and is on the hilly moors of Exmoor, Somerset while Skegness is next to the Blue Flag sandy beach.
