The CJRS has been extended until 31 March 2021. Between 1 November 2020 and 31 January 2021, the Government will pay 80% of staff wages for hours not worked, up to a maximum of £2,500 per month, which is a return to the level of contribution employers could claim in August. The grant does not cover employers’ national insurance or pension contributions.
The CJRS will be reviewed in January next year, at which point the government contribution could be reduced and employers required, once again, to make an additional contribution.

The government is currently reviewing whether employers should be eligible to claim for employees serving contractual or statutory notice periods. Any change in approach will take effect for claim periods starting on or after 1 December, with further guidance expected to be published in late November.
