Many businesses have welcomed the news that the Government will introduce a new scheme to support them with their employment costs once the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme ends.

The new Job Support Scheme will launch on 1 November 2020 and is designed to support viable jobs by subsidising the wage costs for staff working reduced hours until April 2021. 

To help businesses understand the new scheme and plan for its implementation, the Government has published new guidance, which we wanted to share with you.

If you have queries about the new Job Support Scheme and its implementation, please contact us.
