Two-thirds | Staff continue working in HUGE numbers despite furlough

As a lifeline to businesses and employees during the coronavirus crisis, Chancellor Rishi Sunak previously unveiled the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) to prevent wide-scale unemployment and to keep people in jobs.

More commonly known as furlough, employees placed on the scheme can receive 80% of their monthly wages up to £2,500 per month and are required to follow specific rules laid out by the UK Government.
