Urgent Update to CJRS Guidance

The government have today published an updated version of their guidance on the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS), and the applicable legislation to establish the scheme in law. The actual law, which sets down the full legal powers of the CRJS, has now also been published under the auspices of the Coronavirus Act 2020.
The latest guidance gives more details about the scheme and how it is intended to work. 
The main change to be aware of is that the date the employee must have been on the employer’s PAYE payroll has been extended from 28th February to 19th March.
You can claim for employees on any type of employment contract, including full time, part time, agency, flexible or zero-hour contracts as long as they were employed on 19th March 2020 and were on your PAYE payroll scheme (registered under the RTI system) on or before that date.
