When calculating Furlough pay and using the YTD figures if an employee joined mid year and have previous pay from previous job provided by HMRC should we be using these YTD figure or only the earnings whilst with us?

You only use the earnings with yourselves. The new guide says,

 

Employees whose pay varies and who started employment after 6 April 2019

If the employee started their employment after 6 April 2019, claim for 80% of their average monthly wages since they started work until the date they are furloughed, up to a maximum of £2500 per month.

 

Here is the new gov.uk guide that includes that extract and has very clear steps on all of the calculations needed:

Hi Janice & Annette,

 

Annette- many thanks for answering this with the link to the website. This contains the most recent information from the government on calculating values for the CJRS for employees that have started with you mid way through the year.

 

Many thanks,

 

Sophie.
