- The government will pay 70% of wages up to a maximum of £2,187.50 for the hours that the employee is on furlough; and
- Employers will be required to top up the wages of the employees on furlough to ensure they receive 80% of wages up to a maximum of £2,500 in total for the hours the employee is on furlough.
