The furlough scheme has been further updated to extend it to 30 April 2021. A new Treasury Direction has been issued which covers the period 1 February to 30 April 2021.
The Direction clarifies that pay in March/April 2021 should refer back to the corresponding month in March/April 2019 and not March/April 2020 as this would be a period when employees might already have been on furlough pay. The deadline for amending a claim is extended from 15th of the following month to the end of the following month.
