The furlough scheme has been extended until 31 March 2021. Employees will be eligible for 80% of their wages up to £2,500. Flexible furlough has also been extended.
Any employee who has been on an employer’s PAYE payroll by 11:59 on 30 October is eligible – including those who have not been furloughed before. Employees who were made redundant in September, ahead of the extension announcement, can be rehired and furloughed.
Employer contributions will be limited to pension contributions and NICs. Employer contribution levels will be reviewed in January.
