answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2021 answer text <p>In order to help businesses and employees through the next stage of the pandemic, at Budget, the Government extended the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) until the end of September 2021. This extension is designed to strike the right balance between supporting the economy as it opens up, continuing to provide support and protect incomes, and ensuring incentives are in place to get people back to work as demand returns.</p><p>So far, the CJRS has helped to pay the wages of people in 11.5 million jobs across the country, and between the end of January and end of April 2021 1.5 million left the scheme. The Government has been clear, however, that it will not be possible to preserve every job or business, and that it should not stand in the way of the economy adapting, or of people finding new jobs or starting new businesses.</p><p>The Government is therefore maintaining its focus on helping people back into work. As part of its comprehensive Plan for Jobs, the Government announced the £2 billion Kickstart scheme which will create hundreds of thousands of new, fully subsidised jobs for young people, and the new three year Restart programme, which will provide intensive and tailored support to over one million unemployed Universal Credit claimants across England and Wales and help them find work.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 30/06/2021 15:07:47 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2021 answer text <p>The existing timetable to reintroduce employer contributions in the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme aims to strike the right balance between supporting the economy as it opens up, continuing to protect incomes, and ensuring incentives are in place to get people back to work as demand returns.</p><p> </p><p>In July, employers will therefore be asked to contribute 10% of wages for hours not worked up to £312.50 per month. This is the same approach that the Government successfully introduced last autumn, when comparable restrictions were in place and, as employees came off furlough, the vast majority returned to work. The economy is also in a stronger growth position now than it was last autumn, and the labour market is stronger too, with 5.5 million fewer people on furlough than in April 2020, and online job vacancy levels in June about 27% above February 2020 levels.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 29/06/2021 13:42:03 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
