Coronavirus Self-isolation Payment Scheme
(asked on 5th July 2021) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to increase self-isolation payment support once the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme ends.
This question was answered on 15th July 2021
The purpose of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS), which will end on 30 September, is to support businesses to preserve employer-employee matches. Since the start of the scheme, the CJRS guidance has been clear that: “Short term illness or self-isolation should not be a consideration when deciding if [employers] should furlough an employee”. The government will continue to keep other elements of its Covid-19 response under review.
