Furlough Leave Update Information
All employers and organisations please be aware that in order to qualify for the subsidy from the Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme all employees/workers furloughed must have been given written instruction that they cannot do any work for the organisation that has placed them on furlough, and have consented to this in writing. This is contained in the Treasury Guidance to HMRC dated 15th April 2020.
The scheme has very recently been extended until the end of June.
For all your furlough leave questions answered, whether you are employer or employee, please contact our employment specialist Jennifer Carpenter, Solicitor and Managing Partner.
