Flexible furlough - Changes to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme

The first part of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme covered furloughed periods for employees from 1st March 2020 through to 30th June 2020, and it is coming to an end. Employers who are wanting to receive a grant are required to complete their online application by 31st July 2020. Employers will need to finalise the calculation of payments and claims. For each following calendar month, a series of changes will occur with the introduction of CJRS part two which offers flexible furlough. The CJRS will close on 31st October 2020.
