Support in payroll for furloughed workers - claims dated from 1st July 2020
This article explains how to account for claims made for furloughed workers under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) from 1st July 2020 in FreeAgent.
On 1st July 2020 the government made a series of changes to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (also known as the ‘furlough’ scheme) which affect all claims dated between 1st July 2020 and the finish date of the scheme.
To calculate any claims under the scheme dated from 1st July 2020, you should:
- use our handy calculator tool to work out the figures for each employee
- adjust the figures for each employee in FreeAgent’s payroll accordingly
As submissions to HMRC under RTI (Real Time Information) have not changed under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, you’ll still need to make your RTI submission as usual. On the submission you should include the actual amount that you pay to your employee each month.
