Answer to the furlough incentive payment question: The Government mentioned originally that the amount given per employee bought back from furlough would be £1,000, which would be claimable in February. The Government took this away when they extended furlough to the end of April 2021. They did say however, that they may reintroduce it, or something similar, post the end of the current furlough in some format, but there is nothing definite at the moment. We will update the COVID section of our website when we hear more.
