What they say - and would like - is different from what they CAN do.
If there are no government restrictions imposed, the stand downs cease. Then they are dealing with a business issue - if there aren’t enough customers. If they decide they are overstocked with staff, then they need to follow the relevant EAs with respect to redundancies etc.
Irrespective of what is implied, you can’t be kept stood down forever - I wish people would realise this. It’s not up to the company to decide when it applies - otherwise no one would ever be made redundant - they’d just be stood down indefinitely.. that’s not how IR law works.
