On 5th November Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced that the extended furlough scheme, which was due to run from 1 November to December 2020, will now be extended further until 31 March 2021.
The government will meet the cost of 80% of wages up to a cap of £2,500 per month and employers will pay the employer pension costs and National Insurance Contributions (NICs).
