Understanding your options as an employer – Factsheet

The increase in Coronavirus cases is headline news around the world, and there are genuine concerns around how to deal with its impact on UK workplaces.

It is especially difficult as an employer to know how to support your employees and your business. You ultimately have five options:

• Short-time working
• Layoffs
• Furloughed workers
• Redundancies
• Winging it!

We have put together a document which details what each of these options mean and answers common questions you may have.

We especially go into detail surrounding the Job Retention Scheme which was announced on 20th March. We answer what ‘furloughing’ an employee means, who is eligible and how you apply for the 80% grant from the Government.
