    What are the actual figures? Is your employer paying you the minimum 80% under the scheme or making additional payments too?

  • You cannot be paid through the CJRS, that is a scheme for employers to claim back money they have paid to you as wages.

    As LilElvis says you need to give the details for anyone to be able to help.

    Is the deduction just bringing your normal (100%) wage down to the CJRS cap?
    Is the amount you are paid this month in line with your furlough agreement?

    Example I was paid 1300 then minus tax/national insurance/ cjrs(24£) I got 1200 
    I don't have any agreement I'm paid my average of the last 12 months every 4 weeks

    I thinkyou’ll have to ask your employer.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    You are supposed to have an agreement to be on furlough. That is part of the process and the eligibility requirement for the business to make a claim.

    Dare I ask; you have stopped working right?

    Yes I did stop working  the only agreement i had signed is the one to be put on furlough but it seems weird to get paid by the goverment but also have deductions from the same amount except tax/national insurance.

    What we are trying to ask is whether your CJRS deduction puts you below 80% or whether the CJRS deducation is just the difference between 100 and 80%.

    Your employer must pass on the full amount of the grant and cannot keep any for themselves, including for admin fees.

    I guess by your last line, you suggest you are getting deductions removed from the CJRS money you'd be entitled to? In that case that would be wrong.
    I'd ask them to provide you their calculations.

    How much do you normally get a month? How much were you expecting?
