Webinar: Furlough leave and the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme: key legal considerations for Employers

Andreas White

On Saturday 4 April 2020, the Government updated their guidance on furlough leave under the new Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. With numerous questions arising from our clients, Andreas White delivers an overview of the scheme with a focus of the key legal issues for UK employers.
 

The Q&A portion features topics such as parental leave, redundancies, garden leave, pensions, start ups and much more. 

This webinar was presented for informational purposes only based on the guidance and legislation at the time (9 April 2020), which have since changed. It does not constitute legal advice and specialist advice should be sought in individual circumstances.
