Guidance pages relating to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) have been updated to reflect how much organisations can claim back for the periods of August and September 2021.
The government will pay 60% of wages up to a maximum of £1,875 for the hours that employees spend on furlough. Organisations, however, will need to ensure that they top up their employees’ wages to make sure they receive 80% of their wages (up to £2,500) for the hours they are not on furlough. Claims for furlough days in August 2021 must be made by 14 September 2021. The scheme is due to close on 30 September 2021 and claims for September must be submitted by 14 October 2021, with any amendments made by 28 October 2021.

The NMW – unpaid and expense only work – HMRC Webinar 01 September 2021
HMRC has noted that workers who are unpaid or reimbursed on an 'expenses only' basis is a common cause of underpayment of National Minimum Wage (NMW).
In a bid to tackle this area of concern, HMRC is offering three sessions of the NMW webinar, where unpaid or expenses only work and the associated minimum wage risk for employers will be covered. HMRC will cover internships, volunteers, and trial work – looking at where and when the minimum wage should be paid. HMRC will also cover NMW enforcement and how to put things right.
