The Government has just announced a targeted furlough scheme. The finer details are to follow but we know that:

• It will be available for businesses forced to temporarily shut by law due to COVID restrictions.
• The Government will pay 2/3 of employees’ wages – capped at £2100 per month.
• It will run for 6 months from 1 November 2020.
• Employees must be furloughed for a minimum period of 7 days.
