Changes to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) from 1 July, 2021

Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme

Earlier this year, the Government extended the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme for furloughed workers until 30 September 2021.

Below is a summary of how the scheme will work from 1 July 2021.

From 1 July 2021, the level of grant from the Government will be reduced to 70% and the employer will be asked to contribute 10% towards the cost of furloughed employees’ wages.

The maximum grant for this period is £2187.50 per month.

You can continue to choose to top up your employees’ wages above the 80% total for the hours not worked at your own expense.

Changes from 1st August

For the last two months of the scheme, the grant will reduce to 60% with the employer contributing 20% to the employees wages.

The maximum grant for this period will be £1875.00 per month.

If you bring an employee back part-time, your claim will need to show how many hours the employee would normally work, as well as the number of hours actually worked.
