Regarding special measures for employment adjustment subsidies for companies affected by the new coronavirus, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has decided to lower the upper limit of subsidies after October.
The Employment Adjustment Subsidy is a system that subsidizes part of the leave allowance when a company leaves its employees on leave, and special measures have been established to raise the subsidy limit and subsidy rate for companies affected by the new corona. I'm here.
Regarding this measure, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare decided at a council held on the 31st to lower the upper limit of subsidies from October onwards, citing that the economy is recovering from the corona disaster and the employment situation is improving.
Specifically,
▽ Subsidies for companies whose average sales in the last three months have decreased by 30% or more compared to before the spread of infection have now been increased to 15,000 yen, but 12,000. In
the yen, the
upper limit will be lowered from 9,000 yen to 8,355 yen per day for companies whose sales have decreased by less than 30% but are still affected by the coronavirus.
In both cases, the subsidy rate will remain at the current level.
We will operate it until November this year, and after December, we will look at the situation and make a decision again.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the amount of employment adjustment subsidies decided to be paid has exceeded 6 trillion yen since the special measures were established, and there are concerns about financial pressure on employment insurance.
