There is a gradual tapering of support to employers through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) from August before its eventual closure in October.

From claims on or after 1st August 2020, employers can only be able to claim Gross Pay Grant. From then on, the onus of responsibility would be on the employers to pay for their own pension contributions and National Insurance contributions for all employees.

The employers will still be able to claim the lower of 80% of staff wages or £2,500 a month until the end of August, after which they can avail claim reduced to the lower of 70% or £2,187.50 a month in September and the lower of 60% or £1,875 in October, with the scheme closing on 31st October.
