❗️❗️Don’t miss ❗️❗️ the deadline peeps! 💥 30th November💥 IS IT…!
🙈 “You are kidding me, right? ANOTHER deadline? What the shocking-hell for?”🙈
Furlough claims! That is what! And it is for ALL furlough claims to the 💥 31st October 2020💥
🤓 They must be submitted to Big G by the 30th November (ermmm, that is NEXT MONDAY by the way!)
You will see this in the OPENING LINES of Big G’s guidance:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-for-wages-through-the-coronavirus-job-retention-scheme
😍😍 Stay safe everyone 😍😍
It is always worth reading the SMALL PRINT…….. And furlough ain’t no different…. Check this out:
✳️“If you cannot maintain your workforce because your operations have been affected by coronavirus (COVID-19), you can furlough employees……..”✳️
This is the OPENING LINE on the updated furlough guidance from Big G.
What does it mean? Does it mean…..
🤓 “We are busier than ever and sales are through the roof – but I still want to take advantage of the furlough scheme. Other staff still here can take the flack and just work a bit harder”
Errrrrrrr. NO.
🤓 “I am gonna put my staff on furlough, so I can make a claim, but then, like, not put them on furlough and ask them to work from home”
Errrrr, are you CRAZY? No!
It means – if you 💥 cannot pay your staff 💥 because your business is 💥stuffed 💥because of 💥 Corona Virus 💥you can furlough your employees.
Simples, no?
And a little fit further down in the guidance, what else is Big G sayin’?
Oh yeah 💥 HMRC will check claims’💥
