Coronavirus job retention scheme cjrs update [4th april 2020]

As a result of changes and further updates received from the Government in respect of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS), we have prepared an updated summary of the scheme itself, many of the eligibility requirements, as well as some further information on the calculation of the reimbursement/grant funds to be received from HMRC by businesses.

Additionally there has been some further guidance issued by the Government around the issue of putting employees into ‘furlough’, and I attach a summary of much of this relevant guidance for your information.
