Learn more about the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (furlough) extension.
The bonus is available to employers whose staff return to work having been furloughed through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
Employers will receive a one-off payment of £1,000 for each furloughed employee who returns to work.
The criteria for receiving a Job Retention Bonus are fairly straightforward. Employers will be paid a £1,000 bonus by the government for employees that meet the eligibility requirements.
Employers claiming the Job Support Scheme grant, or the Job Support Scheme Expansion, can still claim the bonus for eligible employees.
Bonuses will be paid from February 2021 onwards, providing workers are continuously employed until January.
At the moment there is no information about how the bonus will be paid, but we will keep you up to date as we find out more.
The COVID-19 lockdown caused many employers to furlough staff under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. Government statistics show that the Scheme was used by over one million employers, with over 9 million jobs being furloughed.
Rather than risk mass redundancies as the Scheme winds down, the government are using the Bonus to encourage employers to retain staff.
Yes, directors can claim the Job Retention Bonus for themselves, providing they meet the other criteria, such as having been furloughed under the CJRS.
