CLAIM WAGES THROUGH RETENTION SCHEME!

If you cannot maintain your workforce because your operations have been severely affected by coronavirus (COVID -19), you can furlough employees and apply for a grant that covers 80% of their usual monthly wages costs, up to 2,500 pounds a month, plus the associated Employer National insurance contribution on that subsidised furlough pay.

This is a temporary scheme in place for 4 months starting from 1 march 2020, but it may be extended if necessary and employers can use this scheme anytime during this period. It is designed to help employers who operations have been severely affected by coronavirus (COVID -19) to retain their employees and protect the economy. However, all employers are eligible to claim under the scheme and government recognizes different businesses will face different impacts from coronavirus.
