COVID-19 LEGAL UPDATE: EXTENSION OF THE FURLOUGH SCHEME

As outlined in our press release last week the current furlough scheme was originally due to end on 31 October 2020 with the new Job Support Scheme (JSS) set to launch on 1 November 2020. On 31 October 2020 Boris Johnson announced that the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme will be extended to cover the new lockdown, which is expected to begin on Thursday 5 November 2020 and last until 2 December 2020.

We will publish a further update once the full details have been released.
