Commenting on the Chancellor’s decision to extend the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to the end of June, ADS Chief Executive Paul Everitt said:
“Extending this important scheme allows employers to continue furloughing arrangements without having to confront difficult decisions on future staffing levels until after the next review of lockdown measures.
“This is a welcome announcement that protects jobs, limiting the impact of the crisis on workers and supporting the recovery that will be needed once the Government is able to begin to release restrictions on movement.”
