Briefing 17 – 6th November

You will have noted that the Chancellor issued details of further support under the Coronavirus Job Support Scheme (CJRS) and the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme (SEISS) yesterday.

The details are well publicised and further information can be found at the links below

Full legislation will be issued on 10 November, so we will issue a further Briefing on 11 November.

One important note to mention is that the Job Retention Bonus, payable to employers who had furloughed staff but retained them in employment, has now been removed and will not be paid in January.
