  3. The second Coronavirus lockdown: What we’re doing to help

On Saturday the 31st of October the Government announced a second lockdown for England starting from Thursday 5th of November which means working from home and business closures. To help with this the furlough scheme has been extended until December with the hopes of saving even more UK jobs.

Since the announcement we’ve been working on adapting our furlough support within our software, which will be live to use from tomorrow morning (3rd Nov). This tool will let you book in furloughs for your team and then view or export a Furlough Grant Claim Report to help you claim the grant from HMRC.

And of course we’ve been advising our HR Support customers how to navigate these changes. Our in-house legal team have been burning the midnight oil over the weekend to update all our easy to understand Coronavirus guides around lockdown, working and much more with the latest changes. And we’re helping customers who had just put staff onto the Job Support Scheme migrate to the more generous extended furlough scheme.

And as always, we will continue to send out updates via email to keep our customers bang up to date with the latest rule changes.

We are all in this together, and are on hand should you need any support, from smaller questions to how to navigate these changes company wide, to mental mental health and your employees, to furlough.

If you’re struggling to get your head around any of this new guidance, why not give our friendly team a call on 0333 014 3888 or email info@citrushr.com and find out how we can help you get through this stressful period as painlessly as possible.
