ARCHIVED: This Practice Note has been archived and is not maintained. What is the CJRS? At Spring Budget 2020, the government announced several measures to help businesses face the coronavirus pandemic (eg suspending business rates). One of these measures was the ‘Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme’ (CJRS), which was a temporary scheme generally open to UK employers with a PAYE payroll scheme (subject to certain eligibility requirements). The CJRS came into operation on 1 March 2020 and, after several extensions, continued to operate until 30 September 2021.

Under the CJRS, an employer could claim the following in respect of furloughed workers: • until 31 July 2020, 80% of a worker’s wages, up to a monthly cap of £2,500, plus employer National Insurance contributions (NICs) and pension contributions—the value of the pension contributions that could be claimed under the CJRS until 31 July 2020 is discussed
