Job Retention Scheme – FAQ’s as at 16.04.20

As Government advice is changing weekly regarding the job retention scheme and furloughed staff. We have been inundated with questions regarding the process of furloughing staff and in response to this, we have been providing free guides as well as supporting the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce with a Furloughing Webinar on 15th April 2020.

As expected, we were overwhelmed with specific questions about the Scheme from Chamber members throughout Suffolk.  In this guide we answer questions that we have been asked directly by Chamber members on the webinar, business owners and HR teams who are trying to find solutions to the more intricate and complicated scenarios they are facing due to the Coronavirus pandemic.  In the spirit of ‘making a difference’ we want to share with you our expert opinion and advice on how best to proceed.

The HMRC has already released a 20-minute video to assist employers in making a claim.

If you have any immediate or urgent issues get in touch with us to discuss your options in these tough and uncertain times.

“Triad Sessions That Delivered Real Clarity and Measurable Improvemen”

“The triad sessions with Rachel have been genuinely valuable and have given me far more clarity and direction than I expected at the outset. Her style strikes a rare balance of being structured without ever feeling rigid, and supportive without losing sight of the practical outcomes we need as a leadership team. Across the sessions, Rachel has helped us open up the right conversations, challenge our own assumptions and spot gaps in how we communicate and operate. She has a great way of drawing out insights that were already there but not yet verbalised, and translating them into something actionable for the business. What I’ve appreciated most is that nothing has felt generic. Rachel takes the time to understand the dynamics of our team, the pressures we’re under and the ambitions we have. The guidance she gives always feels anchored in what will actually work for us rather than theory. Overall, the triad sessions have made a clear difference to how we approach leadership, accountability and future planning. I’d happily recommend Rachel and MAD-HR to any organisation looking for support that is grounded, practical and genuinely impactful.”
