Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether employees with a permanent part-year contract are eligible for the coronavirus job retention scheme.
To be eligible for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, employees can be on any type of employment contract. This includes full-time, part-time, agency, flexible or zero-hour contracts as long as the furloughed employee was employed on 30 October 2020, and the employer made a PAYE RTI submission to HMRC between 20 March 2020 and 30 October 2020, notifying a payment of earnings for that employee.
