  • News Update for London's Museums
    @LondonMusDev E-update for London’s Museums – 09 November 2020 The 4 week long national lockdown began on Thursday 05 November, meaning museums and galleries should now be closed in line with government guidance until at least Wednesday 02 December. It has been announced that some heritage locations can still be visited if they are outside – provided current social distancing rules are observed. You can find further information about that on the Gov.uk website. You can get an overview of all of the new national restrictions on the gov.uk website. We strongly advise that you continue to follow the news and government announcements, as they happen, over the coming days and weeks. Last week the government announced further extensions to the furlough scheme, to March 2021. The government will extend furlough payments at the original 80%, up to a maximum of £2,500 per employee. Employers will only need to cover pension and National Insurance contributions during the month of November, but can top up the remaining 20% of their staff salaries if they wish. To be eligible for this extension, employees must have been on the payroll by 30 October 2020, but they do not need to have been furloughed before that date. Workers who were made redundant in advance of the planned end of the furlough scheme on 31 October can be rehired under the current furlough extension. The relevant section is 2.4 in the policy paper which can be found here. The government has also announced that businesses required to close in England due to local or national restrictions will be eligible for Business Grants of up to £3,000 per month, dependent on their rateable value.
