These businesses can claim: £200 per week per worker who has been paid either:- at least £320 per week,or- at least £1,390 per calendar month. For lower paid workers, these businesses can claim 60% of either: (- 35%) of each worker’s usual monthly wage, or (- 35%) of 4 x each worker’s usual weekly wage. This scheme came into effect for those in employment as at Friday 20th March 2020, with the first payment due at the beginning of April.
