<p>The CJRS is designed to protect jobs and keep people in employment. In cases where
terminations of employment or redundancies are unavoidable, employers must abide by
the rules. This includes giving a notice period and consulting staff before a final
decision is reached.</p><p> </p><p>Employers may continue to claim under the scheme
for a furloughed employee who is serving a statutory notice period subject to eligibility
based on contract of employment.</p><p> </p><p>However, in the present difficult times,
the Government would not expect an employer to take advantage of the CJRS, which has
brought benefit to employers and employees alike, in order to make someone redundant
on less favourable terms than they would otherwise have received.</p>
