This may have crept under the radar for some last week but there was a subtle very positive tweak by Rishi Sunek in an announcement last week that we wanted to highlight.
The Job Support Scheme; as you all know, comes in from 1 November to replace the current furlough scheme and will run for six months.
The change is that the minimum hours required for employees to work has dropped from 33% to 20% and the employer contribution for non-worked hours has dropped from 1/3 to 5%.
The full and updated summarised factsheet can be found here along with the eligibility criteria and we have attached the more detailed guidance here also.
