Tricia Walker and Sam Jones discuss the Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme with particular focus on the practicalities of placing employees on furlough leave and what the latest Government guidelines mean for employers.

Scenarios include:
- Consent

- Annual leave
- Sick leave/pay
- Salary reductions
- Furlough selection
