The Government has released a detailed guide to the operation of the Job Retention Scheme, providing a step by step guide to how employers set about making a claim for a grant in relation to their furloughed employees.

The Guide is available at: Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme: step by step guide for employers

The Guide is easy to read and clear in terms of how the calculations are to work.

We will be testing the Portal on Monday and will provide an update as to ease of use, etc.
