Thousands fewer workers in Southampton were on furlough in May - but as the scheme starts to be wound down, the Government has been accused of acting too fast. As of July 1, employers must pay 10 per cent of the salary for furloughed staff, rising to 20 per cent in August and September, when the support scheme ends. But there are fears many businesses will not be able to afford the cost with parts of the economy still restricted by Covid measures. The latest figures from HM Revenue and Customs show that 7,800 jobs held by workers living in Southampton were furloughed in May.
