What day to day work have you laid her off from?

Her acting job pretending she's got work to do.

My Ltd company has two employees.

I'll bet you it doesn't.

Will be from 1st April next week.

The company has actually lost a contract due to Coronavirus, can't go into details currently, but this is a genuine loss of business due to the virus

"To be eligible for the subsidy, when on furlough, an employee can not undertake work for or on behalf of the organisation. This includes providing services or generating revenue. While on furlough, the employee’s wage will be subject to usual income tax and other deductions."

That is clear for an employee, if a Director is keeping a company going I wonder what "providing services" really means... let's hope IPSE provide some clarity.

If she is genuinely doing no work at all yet your intention is to keep her on the payroll, then there is an argument that the help should be available to you.

The second you ask her to do some work, you lose the benefit. So do be very, very certain that there is absolutely nothing for her to do.

You're not an MP, you can't just employ your wife to send out an invoice and make you tea for 20 hours a week.

So what if you were hired and working right at the end of February, but your employer (or their accountant) hadn't actually put you on payroll?

A flat no? A requirement to prove it? Can you retrospectively add someone to payroll with RTI in place?

How much do you pay yourself a month?
