The portal for Government's furlough scheme has now opened.
The scheme was announced by Chancellor Rishi Sunak as part of the Government's response to the outbreak of Covid-19.
It allows employers to grant staff temporary leave of absence while claiming 80% of their salary, up to a maximum of £2,500 per month.
HMRC which runs the portal has been told to expect more than 450,000 applications per hour from employers.
