Extension of Furlough Leave for Employee Letter

Extension of Furlough Leave for Employee Letter

GUIDANCE NOTES: The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (otherwise known as the ‘furlough scheme’) has been extended across the UK until 30 September 2021.

Where the Employee has been furloughed and you now wish to extend their period of furlough, you will need to obtain your Employee’s consent to this.

It is recommended that you contact the Employee by telephone or arrange a virtual meeting with them to notify the Employee of the proposal to extend their furlough in the first instance and confirm this in writing, as below.
