JLL to pay back furlough money and salary cuts

JLL will return the government money it received under the furlough scheme, as well as paying staff back for voluntary salary cuts during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The news was announced this week at a town hall meeting led by UK chief executive Chris Ireland (pictured).

A spokesman for JLL said: “JLL’s main UK business is paying back its Voluntary Salary Reduction Scheme in full. In addition, it has repaid funds received by the government through its job retention scheme subsidy used to furlough employees in areas of the business impacted by the pandemic in 2020.”

JLL joins other agencies, including Knight Frank and CBRE, in announcing that a better-than-expected financial performance during recent months will allow it to return the furlough payments.
