More than nine million workers who are unable to do their job because of the coronavirus outbreak have had their wages paid by the government.
, workers placed on leave will continue to receive 80% of their pay, up to a maximum of £2,500 a month.For example, an employer could pay someone to work two days a week, while the furlough scheme would cover the other three days not worked.Chancellor Rishi Sunak has said employers must start sharing the cost of the scheme from August
