Surrey Storm to furlough its staff and players

Owing to the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic, Surrey Storm are in the process of furloughing its staff and players.

Under the government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, the furloughing of staff will safeguard future jobs and help sustain the club throughout this period.

The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme will mean that 80 percent of the salaries of furloughed staff, up to £2,500 per month per individual, will be paid by the government.

The club will top up the money received from the scheme to ensure that all furloughed staff receive their usual salary in full.

The club will continue to monitor and review the situation as it develops.
