We have now published updated guidance on the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, further guidance on how to calculate a claim, and a simple, step-by-step guide on GOV.UK.
There will also be a calculator available when the system goes live on Monday, allowing employers to check their calculations online before making a claim.
Employers should have all their information and calculations ready before beginning their application. They should retain all records and calculations, in case we need to contact them.
Employers should only call us if they can’t find what they need on GOV.UK – this will leave our lines open for those who need our help most. Employees should not contact HMRC about the CJRS. If they have any questions, they should speak to their employer.
Following the extension of the coronavirus lockdown measures yesterday, the Chancellor has announced the Job Retention Scheme has been extended for a month, allowing employers to furlough employees until the end of June. You and your constituents can read the news story on GOV.UK.
