	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2021 answer text <p>Since November, employers are only asked to cover National Insurance and employer pension contributions for hours not worked under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS). This is lower than the previous level in September and October, and for an average claim accounts for just 5 per cent of total employment costs, or £70 per employee per month. Furthermore, many small employers can benefit from the Employment Allowance for support with their NICs bill, and, since March, businesses have received billions in loans, tax deferrals, Business Rate reliefs, and general and sector-specific grants. This support can be used by businesses to cover the costs of NICs and pension contributions, ensuring that they can continue to furlough their employees.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 145786 question first answered 03/02/2021 12:47:41 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
