Alan Price, employment law expert and CEO of BrightHR, explained: “Employers will need to continue paying employer National Insurance contributions and pension contributions for not only


August but September and October as well. “Another important detail that employers should be aware of is that once government contributions begin to decrease in September, employers must top


this up to ensure that furloughed employees still receive 80 percent of their wages up to £2,500. “For example, a 70 percent grant up to £2,187.50 will attract a 10 percent top up from


employers to a maximum of £312.50. “The furlough scheme may be coming to an end on October 31, but employers still need to keep up to date with its changing structure.”
