The new rules on flexible furlough have been announced. This means claiming wage grants is now significantly more complex.

From July, you get to bring furloughed staff back part time. Plus, you can still enjoy funding to cover some of their wages.

However, to access the part time scheme, you must create a brand new flexible furlough agreement with staff. Failure to do this may mean you miss out on funding.
