Directors who pay themselves a salary through a PAYE scheme are eligible for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.

For periods from 1 November 2020 to 30 April 2021, an employer can claim for employees employed on or before 30 October 2020. The employer must have also made a PAYE Real Time Information submission to HMRC between 20 March 2020 and 30 October 2020, notifying a payment of earnings for that employee.
