<p>The objective of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJR) is to help employers
whose operations have been severely affected by coronavirus (COVID-19) to retain their
employees and protect the UK economy. To achieve this, the grants compensate employers
for the payments that they are obliged to make in order to avoid the need for redundancies.
Covering discretionary payments would go beyond the objectives of the scheme.</p><p>
</p><p>Therefore, where tronc payments are non-discretionary, they are included when
calculating payments for the purpose of the CJRS. Where tronc payments are made at
the discretion of the employer or a client, they cannot be included when calculating
payments for the purpose of the CJRS.</p>
