In this webinar our Employment team review the changes to the furlough scheme, which are due to take effect from the end of July and are likely to have a considerable influence in the context of the resourcing plans for many employers. We will also highlight some of the legal and practical issues facing employers, as they continue to try and support a return to work of those working from home or on furlough since the lockdown.
