Today, Rishi Sunak has announced the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme will be extended for a further four months, until the end of October 2020.
Until the end of July, there are will be no changes.
From August to October the scheme will continue, for all sectors and regions of the UK, but with greater flexibility to support the transition back to work. Employers currently using the scheme will be able to bring furloughed employees back part-time.
The government will ask employers to start sharing, with the government, the costs of paying people’s salaries.
Full details will be published by the end of May.
