Anyone else in payroll? Furlough & claim periods

[Comefromaway]

Logged on to claim furlough back.

Aside from the fact I can't claim the full amount we have paid upfront yet as we have both monthly and weekly paid workers the rules say the minimum time for EACH period of furlough is 3 weeks.

So if I claim for weeks of furlough for everyone (up to 19th April) but next week we take someone off furlough does that mean that on the next claim period I can or cannot claim for their extra week (5 weeks in total). Or does it have to be another 3 weeks?

You can claim 2 weeks in advance?

We are a small business and mostly paid monthly but I have claimed up to the 30th April for everyone except 1 which I have claimed up until yesterday.

The 3 weeks can cross a month. So 1 of our staff returned today after 3 plus weeks. If they are furloughed again for 3 weeks plus then I will do that in a future claim?

It didn't ask which pay period the claims was for- just a total.

This is my interpretation.

I can't claim up to 30th April as I have a couple of workers that might be furloughed as from this week and another who might be taken off furlough.
