Phase 1 - Job Retention Scheme Module: Choose the employees you need to furlough
Description
[BCB:36:Payroll CJRS module update:ECB]

After you select the dates to furlough your employees, you can choose the employees  you're furloughing.

For the purpose of your claim, we strongly recommend that you only select the employees that you're furloughing for the same date range. If you need to claim for mixed date ranges, you should select multiple claims for each date range.

Which employees should I select?

When running the module if your employees have different furlough dates in the claim period, you should only select those employees you're running the calculation for.

If the claim period, pay frequency and furlough dates are the same for all employees, use the select all option then continue with all employees.

Non-furloughed earnings

In order to calculate Employers NI correctly as per HMRC's advice, you must enter if relevant, any non-furloughed earnings. This information is based on the furlough dates you select, and are then broken down by tax period and the start and end of the non-furloughed period is shown in days.

Example:

A monthly pay frequency and furlough dates of 01/03/2020 - 31/05/2020. The date the last pay period covered - 25/02/2020.

The Start of Non-Furloughed Period is the day after the date the last pay period covered - 26/02/2020.

The End of Non-Furloughed Period is the day before the start of the furlough period - 29/02/2020.

This means there were four days that employees weren't furloughed and therefore would have been paid an amount, this is the non-furlough earnings you need to enter.
