Following the announcement of stricter coronavirus restrictions on 31 October, the CJRS is being extended. The level of the grant will mirror levels available under the CJRS in August, so the Government will pay 80% of wages up to a cap of £2,500 and employers will pay employer National Insurance Contributions (NICs) and pension contributions only for the hours the employee does not work. This is a UK-wide policy to support the whole country through this national crisis.
