The Chancellor has launched a new Coronavirus Retention Scheme to help protect thousands of jobs as offices, shops and businesses close due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The initiative, designed to support people who are at risk of losing employment, will see the Government pay up to 80% of their wages for up to three months.

This scheme started on March 1, 2020 and is open to all UK employers until June this year - though the Chancellor has said it could be extended to help keep the economy - and employment levels - stable.
