Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether an employer can claim a grant under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme for those employees who were furloughed for three weeks prior to 30 June, who have since returned to work full-time, but where the employer wants them to work part-time from 1 July.

From 1 July 2020, employers can bring back to work employees that have previously been furloughed, for any amount of time and any shift pattern, while still being able to claim a CJRS grant for their usual hours not worked. This includes employees who have previously returned to work full-time but where the employer wants them to work part-time from 1 July. From this date, only employees that an employer has successfully claimed a previous grant for will be eligible for more grants under the scheme. This means employees must have previously been furloughed for at least three consecutive weeks taking place any time between 1 March and 30 June 2020.
