The government has now launched the process by which companies and charities can claim to 80% of the salary costs of employees who have been ‘furloughed’ as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. Further information on the process to claim this money can be found below.
On 20 March 2020, the Government announced the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to provide funds to support all employers with a PAYE scheme to continue paying employees who would otherwise be made redundant or put on an unpaid period of lay-off.
