<p>The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme announced in March will help firms keep millions
of people in employment. Universal Credit is designed to adjust as income changes.
Individuals who are furloughed will continue to be paid by their company. If their
wages fall, this will be taken into account by the Universal Credit system. Under
the Job Retention Scheme, employers will be required to pay employees at least 80%
of their wages, up to £2,500 per month. Employers can top this up but they are not
required to do so.</p>
