COVID-19: Job Retention Scheme update

Chancellor Rishi Sunak has today announced that the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (the rules regarding furloughed employees), which was initially open for 3 months spanning the period from 1 March to 31 May, has been extended for a further month to 30 June.

This is positive news for business owners and employees alike - and hopefully provides a level of comfort and peace of mind in what continues to be a very challenging time.
