23rd April 2020

HMRC opened the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme On-line Portal on Monday 20th April 2020, which allows employers to claim the Government Grant in respect of Furloughed employees.  As cash flow is a priority, our payroll team is busy helping clients compile and submit claims at the earliest possible opportunity.
