The Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, recently announced details of the extension to the furlough scheme which is currently supporting 8.4 million workers across the UK.

Thousands of furloughed workers face uncertainty after Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced that UK Government support will end on October 31.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a series of changes to schemes for furloughed workers and the self-employed at this afternoon's daily briefing.

Thousands of furloughed workers face massive uncertainty after Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced that government support will end in October.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak has announced sweeping changes to the furlough scheme – telling employers they must pick up the bill from August.

A risk sharing agreement between Rochdale council and health bosses has been suspended due to ‘frightening’ uncertainty over Covid-19 funding.

More responsibility will be handed to employers from August as the Government's flagship wage scheme is wound down for workers.

More than 8.4million workers are now registered on the government's furlough scheme, up from eight million a week earlier, the Treasury has said.

In a bid to further compensate businesses who have fallen short amid the coronavirus pandemic, the government has today launched a scheme to help employers cover the costs of sick pay.

Businesses will have to pay at least a fifth of the wages of furloughed employees from August, despite the Government extending the scheme to October, it's been reported.
