My wife has been informed that due to COVID-19, an immediate pay-cut will be implemented. Looking at supports available, it looks like this does not apply to people who have had an enforced pay cut; looks to be only those with reduced hours or laid off entirely?
Does the employer claim subsistence for this? If so, what can they claim? She works part time and her salary is circa €25k.
A company can apply for the temporary supports and the Government will pay towards the wages(70%) and the company can top up 30%if they have the funds available. If they don’t have the funds then the worker will get 70% of their pay. This is only for 12weeks. Have a read of the link below.
