Step-by-step Guide: How to claim Furlough! Extended to end of June!

The process for making furlough claim is attached here in this 7 page document.   https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-job-retention-scheme-step-by-step-guide-for-employers Claims can be made from Monday via HMRC Portal and will be paid in 6 working days. Seems fairly straightforward though the section re uploads for volumes of more than a 100 workers seems quite vague. There isn’t a confirmation email so make sure you print and or screenshot your submission reference!

CLARIFICATION RE HOLIDAY PAY https://www.gov.uk/guidance/work-out-80-of-your-employees-wages-to-claim-through-the-coronavirus-job-retention-scheme Furloughed employees will continue to accrue leave as per their employment contract. The employer and employee can agree to vary holiday entitlement as part of the furlough agreement, however almost all workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks of statutory paid annual leave each year which they cannot go below.
