The Job Retention Scheme is now open for applications.

After you’ve submitted your claim, keep a note or a print-out of your claim reference number – you won’t receive a confirmation text or email. Expect to receive the funds six working days after you apply (so apply by 22 April to receive the funds by 30 April).
