Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme Update (CJRS)

Please talk to us about any issues you have with making a claim or preparing for the end of the scheme.

For September, employers can claim 60% of furloughed employees' usual wages for the hours not worked, up to a cap of £1,875 per month per employee. They’ll need to contribute 20% from their own funds so that furloughed employees continue to be paid at least 80% of their usual wages in total, for the hours they do not work (up to a cap of £2,500 a month).

What you need to do now:

• work out how much you can claim, and the contribution you will need to make to reach 80% of usual wages
• keep records supporting the grants they claim, in case HMRC need to check them
• make sure you continue paying CJRS-related employee tax and National Insurance contributions to HMRC, and contact them if you are struggling to pay
• prepare for the scheme closing on‌‌ ‌30‌‌ ‌September. Final claims for September must be submitted by Thursday‌‌ ‌14‌‌ ‌October.
