Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme age limit

Payroll

Didn't find your answer?

I have an employer who pays some under 16's does anyone know if these young people are entitled to be in the Coronoavirus Job Retention Scheme? granted they only earn a few pounds. They are paid through the PAYE Scheme and detials submitted RTI.

There is no mention of it in HMRC's information, that I can find.

As far as I can see no age limit as long as they were reported on payroll on 28.2.20. We are going ahead with it irrespective of age

I can't see anything either, guidance suggest that you can if they are on the PAYE system, however to claim advice also suggests you need their NI number, which under 16's won't have! Hopefully further advice will come
