This week there is an obvious concern in the UK regarding the second wave of Covid-19 infections.
Park City’s team have waited until the end of the week to summarise the Business relevant guidance and provide it in one location for you and your management team to access.
Our team have received increasing calls for advice and help due to test and trace contacts within the employee base at work and from managers grappling with how to respond positive cases at work and staff self isolating. There are many aspects to consider when implementing your business response to covid-19 cases at work, we are here to help and support, with our personal tailored approach you have our commitment to provide the support your need.
The end of the job retention scheme and the additional schemes that will attempt to fill the gap for some businesses has also resulted in an increase for added support and assistance, for some, the business dynamics have resulted in the need to reduce costs in the absence of Government support, this is difficult for leaders and staff alike, our team have and will support business leaders and managers in a sensitive and professional way ensuring that due process if followed and every opportunity is explored before those difficult decisions are made. Call us if you need help and support or you just need to share your concerns with a sympathetic and supportive professional team, just call.

This Job Support Scheme factsheet explains what is covered by the grant, which employers and employees are eligible, and how to claim.
The Job Support Scheme is designed to protect viable jobs in businesses who are facing lower demand over the winter months due to Covid-19, to help keep their employees attached to the workforce. The scheme will open on 1 November 2020 and run for 6 months.
The company will continue to pay its employee for time worked, but the cost of hours not worked will be split between the employer, the Government (through wage support) and the employee (through a wage reduction), and the employee will keep their job.
The Government will pay a third of hours not worked up to a cap, with the employer also contributing a third. This will ensure employees earn a minimum of 77% of their normal wages, where the Government contribution has not been capped.
Summary
Further information has been published today on how businesses can claim the government’s Job Retention Bonus, with millions set to benefit from the £9 billion package.
