- The UK Government will continue to pay 60% of employees’ usual wages for the hours not worked, up to a cap of £1,875, to the end of September 2021.
- Employers will need to pay the 20% in August 2021 and September 2021, so that they can continue to pay their furloughed employees at least 80% of their usual wages for the hours they do not work during this time, up to a cap of £2,500 per month.
- Employers can still choose to top up their employees’ wages above the 80% level or cap for each month if they wish, at their own expense.
- To help you and plan ahead for future claim periods, the CJRS calculator is available. This can help you work out how much you can claim for employees up to the end of September 2021.
