The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare plans to gradually reduce the special measures for "employment adjustment subsidies" for companies affected by the new coronavirus from the month following the month when the state of emergency is lifted.
The "employment adjustment subsidy" is a system in which the government subsidizes part of the leave allowance, etc., when the company maintains employment by taking employees off even if sales decrease.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is taking special measures for companies affected by the new coronavirus, and the maximum daily subsidy such as leave allowance is set to 15,000 yen, and the subsidy rate for both large companies and small and medium-sized companies Has been raised to a maximum of 100%.
This special measure will be extended until the end of the month following the month in which the state of emergency is lifted, after which it will be gradually reduced.
Specifically, for two months from the month following the month when the declaration was lifted, the maximum subsidy will be 13,500 yen, and the subsidy rate will be 90% for small and medium-sized enterprises and 75% for large enterprises.
However, if there are areas where the infection has spread even after the state of emergency is lifted, for companies whose sales in the last three months have decreased by 30% or more compared to the previous year or two years ago. It means that they are considering continuing the current special measures.
