The Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, has announced today that the furlough scheme will be extended across the UK until the end of March 2021.
The scheme will continue to pay up to 80% of a person’s wage up to £2,500 a month. This is scheduled to be reviewed in January.
Furthermore, as part of the newly extended scheme the Chancellor announced that anyone who was made redundant after 23 September can be re-hired and put back on furlough.
