What amount do you enter for a furloughed employee.Is it the full amount of the wages and pay 80% (claimed back off HMRC) or do you enter 80% of the employees wages

Welcome aboard to the Online Community, dbiltd.

To properly track the employee’s furlough, I recommend you get in touch with the HMRC. They can provide detailed information on the amount to enter on the paycheque.

Once you have the details available, create a pay category for furlough. The steps differ depending on the payroll service. Click on the link for the one you’re currently using.

• PaySuite Hub
• QuickBooks Online Standard

3. From there, select which one you want to use for the furlough.
