Furloughed halfway thru month

Didn't find your answer?

if an employee is furloughed half way thru the month how do you calculate how much pension contribution to reclaim. if banded do you use the band against the pre furlough earnings first?

No, the band is eaten up by the furlough earnings first. There's an example in the guidance https://www.gov.uk/guidance/work-out-80-of-your-employees-wages-to-claim...

I read it as the band is apportioned by days, rather than 'used up' first.

I agree, divide by 30 or 31 and times by furlough days (including weekends!). If employer topped up adjust accordingly.
