Example Board Meeting Minutes to Furlough Staff Outlining Reasoning

Any CJRS Furlough claim may be subject to HMRC retrospective audit and therefore it makes sense to note the date and reasons for the Furlough decision. We appreciate that it will be obvious for some businesses (Government orders closure) but for some businesses especially Director / Shareholder businesses it is prudent to note details. This will also serve as evidence of the date of the decision.

Please feel free to use and edit the sample board meeting minutes as you see fit for your business.
