Senta creates a workflow to help UK accountancy practices manage furlough claims

Senta furlough workflow

We’ve created a workflow for UK accountancy practices to help gather data for clients making wage claims, as part of the Job Retention Scheme.

This new workflow can be added to existing Senta accounts. If you’re not a Senta client, you can try out the workflow as part of your free 30-day trial. Register here 

Making your life easier
This new workflow automates the information collection for the furlough scheme and reminds accountants and clients to record details of furlough claims on a regular basis. If you have multiple clients with multiple furlough claims, it’s going to take out a lot of the leg work. You can assign the forms to your clients and request that they fill in the required information directly. This workflow will make your life easier if you’re submitting claims on behalf of clients or you’re responsible for any payroll tasks. 

How the Senta ‘Claim for wages’ job works
For Senta users, we have made a job and form available in Senta to enter the ‘claim for wages’ details for your clients, including:

  • PAYE registration
  • Number of employees being furloughed
  • Employee details
  • Employer PAYE scheme ref number
  • Claim start date
  • Claim end date
  • Claim amount
  • Account details

This workflow contains:

  • 1 x job template “Claim for wages”
  • 1 x service “Claim for wages”
  • 1 x form, including links to existing fields
  • 1 x client list with relevant fields and CSV template

If you would like this workflow added to your Senta site, drop us a line via support@senta.co and we’ll sort it out for you.

The latest on the furlough scheme

At the time of writing (!), the scheme has been extended to the end of April 2021. As you know already, the government will cover 80% of furloughed workers’ wages, while employers will need to pay National Insurance and pension contributions; this may change when the scheme is reassessed at the end of January 2021.
