Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme
(asked on 9th June 2020) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether it is their intention that employers are reimbursed under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme for employees who are under notice of redundancy.
This question was answered on 22nd June 2020
The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) has been successful in supporting employers whose operations have been severely affected by coronavirus in retaining their employees and protecting the UK economy.
Where a business considers that redundancy is the only option, standard employment law applies to employees on furlough. CJRS grants cannot be used to substitute redundancy payments.
