Claim for wages through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme

Information about changes from 1 July 2021 has been added and claims for furlough days in June 2021 must be made by 14 July 2021.

The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme has been extended until 30 September 2021. From 1 July 2021, the government will pay 70% of wages up to a maximum cap of £2,187.50 for the hours the employee is on furlough.

Employers will top up employees’ wages to make sure they receive 80% of wages (up to £2,500) in total for the hours the employee is on furlough. The caps are proportional to the hours not worked.
