Furlough Leave Update Information
All employers and organisations please be aware that in order to qualify for the subsidy from the Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme all employees/workers furloughed must have been given written instruction that they cannot do any work for the organisation that has placed them on furlough, and have consented to this in writing. This is contained in the Treasury Guidance to HMRC dated 15th April 2020.
The scheme has very recently been extended until the end of June.
For all your furlough leave questions answered, whether you are employer or employee, please contact our employment specialist Jennifer Carpenter, Solicitor and Managing Partner.

She was appointed as a Partner in January 2005, having qualified as a solicitor in 2000 after completing her training with the firm. She specialises in Employment, property dispute litigation and contentious probate. She has extensive experience of undertaking advocacy in the Magistrates Court, County Court and Employment Tribunals. Jennifer is also our Compliance Officer for Finance and Administration (COFA) and our Data Protection Officer.
