furlough scheme and Long Residency ILR

My 10 years long residency shall be completed on 25/09/2020. Currently I am on Tier 1 entrepreneur visa which I was granted an extension on 14/12/2018.
During COVID I did use furlough scheme for my employees in last three months. Before that they were full time employees since 14/12/2018 and before.

Question: Will this effect or create any issue with My ILR (long residency) application in September?

Please advise
.

Long residence ILR requirements are not the same as ILR rules for Tier 1E. Furlough scheme has no effect on Tier 1E either
