Answer
For those on their employer’s payroll on 19 March 2020, the usual salary under the CJRS will be calculated based on their earnings prior to that date. An alternative calculation is used for newer employees who were first reported by their employer after 19 March 2020.
Guidance on calculating how much can be claimed under the CJRS can be found on GOV.UK.
