Sunak’s Furlough scheme to end in October

Chancellor Rishi Sunak says employers must start sharing the cost of the Furlough Scheme from August 2020 and will finish at the end of October 2020.

From August, employers must pay National Insurance and pension contributions then 10 per cent of pay from September, rising to 20 per cent in October. Workers will be allowed to return to work part-time from July, but with companies paying 100 per cent of wages.

The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme will adjust so those who are able to work can do so. 8.4 million workers are having 80 per cent of their salaries paid for by the government up to £2, 500 per month under the scheme, which was originally intended to last until the end of July.

Earlier this month, the Chancellor extended the scheme until the end of October but did not spell out how employers would start contributing.

Under Friday’s changes, furloughed workers will continue to get 8- per cent of pay until the end of October but by then a fifth of their salary will have to be met by employers.

“then after eight months of this extraordinary intervention of the government stepping in to help pay people’s wages, the scheme will close. Eight months as I said, is I think a generous and long period of time,”  Mr. Sunak said.

Cash strapped employers must decide if they can take on an increasing burden to keep workers for whom there may be little or no work.

Employers’ claims under the scheme have reached £15bn so far, however, the scheme is expected to cost a total of around £80bn or £10bn a month.

In Uk, another 215 people have died after testing positive for coronavirus in hospitals and the wider community bringing the total to 38, 376.
