This week the Chancellor announced another change to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, which is likely to be welcomed by many employers and employees – it will be extended from the end of March 2021 to the end of April 2021, with employees continuing to be paid 80% of wages subject to the cap.
Following on from our previous blog, An Introduction to the UK’s New Points-based Immigration System, MBM Commercial’s Employment & Holistic HR team have put together a quick reminder of key dates for employers’ diaries.
Further to our update earlier this week, the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (the Furlough Scheme) has now been extended until 31 March 2021.
Back in March, many of us had to make a quick transition to working from home; not knowing how long it would be before we would return to the office. Now seven months have passed, the dust has settled, and many employers and employees are recognising the benefits of home working and considering it as a more permanent arrangement. It’s therefore a good time for employers to start thinking about how to get the most out of homeworking in the long-term.
On Saturday night the UK Government made an announcement that the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (Furlough Scheme) has been extended.
