Charity Commission updates COVID-19 guidance in relation to charity meetings
The Charity Commission has this month updated its COVID-19 guidance in regard to “AGMs and other meetings: postponing or cancelling meetings”.
As mentioned in the October 2020 update, the government has extended the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) in light of England’s second lockdown which began on 5 November 2020. The Chancellor has since announced that the CJRS will officially be extended until 31 March 2021, despite original plans to end it in 2020.
On 13 November 2020, the latest Treasury Direction (TD) on the CJRS was published along with further updates to the government guidance on the CJRS. The new TD only sets out how the CJRS will operate until 31 January 2021 at which point a further TD will be published covering how the scheme will operate for the remaining 2 months. The new TD and updated guidance largely confirm what we already knew about the CJRS extension as summarised in our October 2020 update, with a few important additions. Below we set out some of the most important points for employers:
