When COVID-19 strained businesses across the country, Capgemini worked with HMRC to develop and deliver a digital solution to enable employers to apply for government funding for employees placed on furlough.

Overview

Client: HMRC
Region: UK
Sector: Public Sector

Client Challenge

As the COVID-19 pandemic began to take its toll on the lives of UK citizens and the economy, the Chancellor of the Exchequer asked Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC) to rapidly implement a solution to enable employers across the country to furlough rather than release employees.

Solution

Working with HMRC and a small number of its IT partners, Capgemini rapidly delivered a digital service to support the Coronavirus Job Retention
Scheme (CJRS), completing a process that would typically require up to a year within a month.

Benefits

  • By 13th December 2020, the CJRS had:
  • Supported over 1.2 million employers and 9.9 million jobs
  • Paid over £46.4 billion worth of claims
  • Processed over 4.5 million claims by employers
