The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme online portal has gone live this morning enabling employers to lodge claims. Grants are expected to arrive in employer bank accounts within six working days of submitting a claim. The portal can be accessed here. An online calculator is available to assist with the simpler employment scenarios and will be extended to cover more situations later.
Minor updates have been made to the HMRC employer guidance here and to the guide on calculating claims here. We have updated our CJRS briefing to reflect the 17 and 20 April updates and it is available here.
