Streamline Your Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme Claims with Paperform

The HMRC Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) helped thousands of UK businesses retain employees during unprecedented times. Whether you're managing historical claims, reviewing furlough records, or preparing documentation for HMRC compliance audits, having a structured digital form is essential for accurate record-keeping.

This HMRC CJRS Claim Form template helps UK employers, HR managers, accountants, and payroll teams capture all the critical information needed for furlough claims in one organised place. The form includes automated wage calculations based on reference pay, handles full and flexible furlough scenarios, tracks National Insurance and pension contributions, and ensures proper employee consent documentation.

Built for UK compliance and SMB efficiency

Designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses navigating UK employment law and HMRC requirements, this template addresses the complexity of CJRS calculations without requiring spreadsheet expertise. The form handles percentage calculations for flexible furlough arrangements, computes grant entitlements based on actual wages paid, and captures the detailed employee and employer information HMRC requires.

For accountancy practices and payroll bureaus managing multiple client claims through Paperform's Agency+ plan, you can duplicate this template across client workspaces whilst maintaining consistent compliance standards. Each submission can trigger different workflows via Stepper—routing to bookkeeping systems, updating payroll records in Xero or QuickBooks, or flagging claims that require director review.

From submission to records management

Once submitted, you can connect this form to your document management system or accounting platform to maintain a full audit trail. Use Papersign to collect formal employee consent signatures on furlough agreements, linking them directly to the claim record. For practices handling sensitive employment data, Paperform's SOC 2 Type II compliance and data residency controls ensure you meet UK data protection standards.

Whether you're an HR manager preparing for an HMRC compliance check, a finance director reconciling grant repayments, or an accountant advising clients on historic furlough documentation, this template gives you a professional, audit-ready solution that saves time and reduces errors.

Trusted by UK SMBs and professional services firms, Paperform makes complex regulatory forms simple—no coding required, fully customisable to your brand, and ready to integrate with the tools you already use.
