	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2020 answer text <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> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 27/04/2020 09:05:49 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2020 answer text <p>In March, the Government announced the unprecedented Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to help firms keep millions of people in employment. The scheme is open to any individual who was on an employer’s PAYE payroll on or before 19 March 2020 and for whom HMRC received an RTI submission notifying payment in respect of that employee on or before the 19 March 2020.

	question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of changing the Coronavirus Jobs Retention Scheme to help industries such as the steel industry that are experiencing a shortage of skilled workers to reduce the hours of their employees in preference to furlough.
	tabling member constituency	Aberavon
	tabling member printed	Stephen Kinnock
	uin	39629
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2020 answer text <p>The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme is designed to help those who otherwise would have been made unemployed and provide support to businesses as quickly as possible. Allowing employers to move staff to part-time and claim the difference would have involved delay and substantially increased the risk of fraud. It is also inconsistent with public health guidance for people to stay at home. However, there is flexibility in the scheme as employers can decide how many staff to furlough, and staff can be furloughed multiple times while the scheme is in operation, provided they are furloughed for a minimum of 3 weeks.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 29/04/2020 15:11:52 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2020 answer text <p>To be eligible for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, firms must have created and started a PAYE payroll scheme on or before 19 March 2020, enrolled for PAYE online and have a UK bank account. Once on furlough, employees cannot work for their employer but they can undertake training or volunteer subject to public health guidance, so long as they are not making money for their employer or any organisation linked or associated with their association, or providing services to their employer or any organisation linked or associated with their association.</p><p>The arrangement between workers and their employers remains subject to negotiation. To be eligible for the scheme, each employee must be furloughed for a minimum of three weeks at a time. This is consistent with public health guidance seeking to minimise the number of people outside their homes on a regular basis. There is no restriction on the number of times an individual could be furloughed or the maximum period, other than the life of the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Employers may also be able to benefit from other schemes and measures such as the VAT deferral and the Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme.
