Many small company directors were excluded from the first two furlough schemes because they paid themselves an annual salary at the end of March 2020. This meant they missed the RTI cut-off date of 19 March 2020 for claims to be accepted.
However, provided the same directors were able to pay themselves at least some salary between 20 March 2020 and 30 October 2020, they could claim furlough pay under the third CJRS initiative (CJRS-3).
