The difference, however, is that new phones usually come with additional instructions, even if they do get harder to understand if you are over 25! The now twice extended CJRS is without additional guidance; the drafter is playing catch up and will publish on 10 November.

One thing we have learned throughout this pandemic is that new guidance can change the sense of a provision with the inclusion of just one or two words and treasury directions can cause further chaos leaving us all floundering. We await the Government guidance if not with bated breath then certainly with some trepidation. We hope for clarity on carers and shielding and more information about employees transferred under TUPE, holiday accrual, redundancies and dismissals whilst on furlough, etc.
