I thought that, upon browsing to the website, there might be a big 'claim here' button.
If there is, I cannot find this.
(note this is as a direct employer rather than agent)

I am in PAYE for employers, but no immediate link, apart from to the guidance, is leaping out.
Use the link on this page:-
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-for-wages-through-the-coronavirus-job-...
https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/coronavirus-job-retention-scheme/claim/di...
Should be able to see a claim option here - no surprises though, it's already broken. It waits until you put in all the details manually then tells you they're experiencing technical difficulties and there's no way to save your progress so you have to spend the time filling it in manually every time you want to see whether it's working or not.
Or you can go into the client you are claiming for and Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme pops up on the list on the right hand side.
I did successful claims for 3 companies, one person furloughed on each but then dared to try to do a claim for 4 furloughed employees and got the error message
"The number of furloughed employees cannot be more than the number of employees you operate PAYE for"
The company employs 6 staff....grrr! Will wait and try again later.

This is the page with the big green "Claim Now" button
