Hi there nope this is not possible.

If you are a salaried employee, your company would have the Enanced Jobs Support Scheme (EJSS) which is basically a scheme which allows your company to get a reimbursement of 75% of your income in April, hence that should offset a potential loss during this period.

Hope this answers your situation! For the Temporary relief fund it is strictly for self employed persons and freelancers only.
