Our plan is to help as many businesses through this period as possible so that they come out of the other side thriving. We are aware that other companies are charging. As long as the process is, our investment to our clients is that we will be furloughing any of our clients staff at OUR cost so not one of our clients will receive an additional expense for Furloughing during this time. You needn’t worry about another expense during this crisis.
Following a review of the delivery system, and to ensure the scheme aids as many people as possible, a new guide has been published, stating that the eligibility dates has been extended to March 19th 2020. All employees must have been notified to HMRC through a normal electronic payroll submission notifying payment in respect of that employee on or before 19 March 2020.
To qualify previously, individuals had to be employed on February 29th 2020. This has been widely criticised by new starters employed after this date but before the start of the crisis who were left unable to furlough with their new employer.
The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme is a temporary scheme open to all UK employers. It is designed to support employers whose operations have been severely affected by coronavirus (COVID-19). You can claim your usual monthly wage costs, up to £2,500 a month, plus the associated Employer National Insurance contributions and minimum automatic enrolment employer pension contributions on that wage.
So, how do you get started on your claim?
Employers should discuss with their staff and make any changes to the employment contract by agreement. Employers may need to seek legal and HR advice on the process. If sufficient numbers of staff are involved, it may be necessary to engage collective consultation processes to procure agreement to changes to terms of employment.
