10th June is the last date for starting furlough

8 June 2020: Employers are reminded that 10 June is the last date for starting furlough for staff to claim a grant under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS).

ICAEW’s Tax Faculty is reminding organisations that on 30 June the CJRS will close to employees who haven’t been furloughed for a three-week period. This means 10 June 2020 is the last day on which someone who has never been furloughed before can start a period of furlough and qualify for their wages to be covered by the CJRS.
