The extended UK-wide furlough scheme will run until Wednesday, December 2 covering 80 per cent of the salary for hours not worked due to compulsory lockdown, up to a maximum of £2,500.
Businesses will only be asked to cover national insurance and employer pension contributions which, for the average claim, accounts for just 5 per cent of total employment costs.
