Wage Subsidy Extension
This scheme allows for a further wage subsidy to applied for to get an extra 8 week extension to the already paid out 12 weeks. To qualify you must have experienced a minimum 50% decline in actual or predicted revenue in the 30 days before you apply, when compared to a similar period last year and the decline must be related to COVID-19.
If you meet the criteria, you cannot apply until the 12 week period of the first wage subsidy is up.
We expect to hear more specific details around the criteria before applications are open.
