MLP Law’s Furlough Review

Workplaces have changed a lot in the past 18 months and employers are now enjoying a return to more normal practices. This is set to continue with the end of the Furlough Scheme (Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme) on 30 September 2021.
 
The end of furlough is also a timely reminder to employers of HMRC’s power to audit furlough claims at any time and the obligation to retain furlough records for at least 5 years. It is therefore crucial that employers have full and accurate records of all of their furlough claims, including their agreements with employees, to minimise the risk of failing an HMRC audit.
 
To help employers with this and with managing the return to normality, MLP Law has created a useful Furlough Review service which includes:
 
an audit of your furlough claims;
– a risk assessment of your furlough records;
– template contractual side letter to confirm the end of furlough arrangements and your employees’ return to their original terms; and
– a bespoke workplace policy, tailored to your plans for the post-furlough and post-lockdown era, covering issues such as Return to Work, Homeworking, Hybrid Working and Mental Health & Wellbeing.
 
The MLP Furlough Review is available for a fixed fee (starting from £350 plus VAT) or can be accessed through your MLP Flex allocation.
