Covid-19 – Wages Subsidy and Resurgence Support

Sunday 28th February 2021

Well, this was not what any of us wanted to hear, but it is what it is.  I will not waste your time – just four things for you:

-          Canterbury and the West Coast at level 2 – thank goodness no worse, so just be vigilant and watch that social distancing.

-          For anyone who is affected by the change in alert levels you may be eligible for one or both of the following:

-          If you have any intention of reducing pay to staff who you have to send home because of Covid-19, please remember to consult with them before reducing pay.  We can advise on this.

-          If you have staff who have to stay off work and self-isolate, there is still support available for this – Short Term absence support

 

 

Essential HR are here to help.  For ongoing help, contact Mike on 027 2808546 or mike@essentialhr.co.nz and Beccy on beccy@essentialhr.co.nz or 027 2909070 – our landline should be up and running shortly – apologies for delays in reaching us on cell phones. 

I’m happy for you to pass this on to others.
