Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme
(asked on 8th February 2021) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether furlough payments under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme from March 2021 will be calculated using employees pre-covid-19 outbreak earnings.
This question was answered on 16th February 2021
For those on their employer’s payroll on 19 March 2020, the usual salary under the CJRS will be calculated based on their earnings prior to that date. An alternative calculation is used for newer employees who were first reported by their employer after 19 March 2020.
Guidance on calculating how much can be claimed under the CJRS can be found on GOV.UK.
