Employment adjustment subsidy for SMEs Further expansion Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare New Corona April 26, 5:12
Given that companies are forced to take leave for a long time to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will further expand the subsidy to maintain employment for SMEs. I decided.
The employment adjustment subsidy is a system that subsidizes some companies, such as leave allowances, to companies that have maintained employment without dismissing employees even if sales decrease. We have decided to further increase the grant rate.
Specifically, if a small and medium-sized enterprise pays employees 60% or more of their leave allowance, the full amount will be subsidized for expenses in excess of 60%.
This means that even if a company pays 60% of its wages as a leave allowance or pays the full amount, the burden will be the same.
In addition, if you are subject to a leave request from a local government, you will be subsidized in full if you pay the same amount as wages.
However, in each case, the maximum is 8330 yen per day.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, we have begun to expand the system due to the spread of infection, and from February 14th to 24th there were 2541 applications, of which 282 were decided to be paid.
