For employers, the Early Returns team are here to support you, and can explain all the options available to you. To help us do that, please complete the Early Return Enquiry form which will provide us with the information required to assess the circumstances and advise on remaining payments and salary deductions still owed.
Once you have completed the form, the team will be in touch with next steps. Please allow 2 business days for this.
