RETURNING MONEY FROM JOB RETENTION SCHEME ‘ RIGHT THING TO DO ’
» TYMAN PLC , THE PARENT COMPANY of ERA , Zoo , Schlegel-Giesse and Access360 , has announced that it intends to pay back £ 2.3m received in 2020 under the UK Government ’ s Job Retention Scheme *. The payment will be made in full before year end .
Darren Waters , Divisional CEO for Tyman UK and Ireland , explains the rationale behind this decision :
“ During the second half , our businesses have benefited from the strong recovery in the residential and commercial markets and we are in the fortunate position where we are able to return this money . The Job Retention Scheme served its purpose in supporting us to preserve jobs through the uncertainty . Other sectors , including hospitality , leisure and retail , have been hit hard and need further Government support to get through this crisis . For Tyman , paying back the money is the right thing to do .”
* For employers , the government ’ s Job Retention Scheme allowed them to claim for some of their employees ’ wages if they had put them on furlough or flexible furlough because of coronavirus . www . eraeverywhere . com
