Coronavirus Job Retention (Furlough) Scheme (“CJRS”) extension

Following the announcement and start of a second lockdown in England, the Chancellor announced a further extension to the CJRS, until the end of March 2021 and a review will be undertaken in January 2021. This was accompanied by a Policy Paper setting out further details on the extension.   The extension to the CJRS will apply UK-wide, and the Job Support Scheme remains postponed.

Employers should note the following:

  • During the extension, employees can continue to receive 80% of their usual wages, up to the cap of £2,500 per month (pro-rated to the hours not worked).
  • Employers will only be required to pay National Insurance and employer pension contributions.
  • Neither the employer nor the employee needs to have previously claimed or have been claimed for under the CJRS to make a claim under the extended CJRS as long as eligibility criteria are met.
  • An employer can claim for employees who were employed and on their PAYE payroll on 30 October 2020.
  • The employer must have made a PAYE Real Time Information (RTI) submission to HMRC between 20 March 2020 and 30 October 2020, notifying a payment of earnings for that employee.
  • Employers will have the flexibility to use the CJRS for eligible employees for any amount of time and any shift pattern, including the option to furlough employees full-time.
  • Employees who were employed and on the payroll on 23 September 2020 and who were made redundant or stopped working afterwards can be re-employed and claimed for. The employer must have made an RTI submission to HMRC from 20 March 2020 to 23 September 2020, notifying a payment of earnings for those employees.
  • For employees who meet the eligibility criteria and were previously furloughed, employers must use the same calculations for calculating reference pay and usual hours. For those employees who meet the criteria of the extended scheme but were not previously eligible under the CJRS, alternative calculations will need to be used.
  • The Job Retention Bonus will not be paid in February 2021 due to the extension of the CJRS.  Further information is to be published on a ‘retention incentive’ being deployed.
