Under Rishi Sunak's original JSS scheme they would have to work a minimum of 13 hours a week. Kerry Marriott, from Yorkshire, asked the Chancellor: 'I’d love to ask Rishi when my job will be included in a support scheme. Sunak answered: 'So Kerry you are right the Job Support Scheme (JSS) is not for you but the Self Employment Income Support Scheme is there for those who are self-employed sole traders such as yourself. Con O'Neill asked Sunak: 'Hi Rishi how is not discriminatory to put a £50,000 cap on the self employed but not in PAYE ?' The Job Support Scheme, which will replace furlough, will be extended to firms that are legally allowed to open.
