Job Support Scheme update & Brexit planning for employers

In this episode of the podcast I cover two important updates for employers.

Firstly, changes to the Job Support Scheme to provide cover for those employers who have to close their premises due to local lockdown restrictions.

Secondly, with the UK’s withdrawal from the EU looming there are important steps that Employers must consider.

In this episode I cover:

• What the amendments to the Job Support Scheme mean for employers.
• How much pay will be covered for those businesses forced to close.
• What employers need to do about EU National employees post Brexit.
• Why it is important that EU nationals apply for settled or pre-settled status before the 30th June 2021.
