新西兰财政部长格兰特·罗伯逊7月17日晚说:”在社区中对抗COVID-19的警戒级别上升之后,政府对企业和工人给予了大量支持!”。 格兰特·罗伯逊说:”社会发展和就业部长卡梅尔·塞普洛尼和我已启动一系列商业支持措施,为企业和工人提供确定性,并确保我们迅速获得资金,以保护就业和保持公司的运营。 这些措施包括:·        工资补贴计划 (WSS) 在全国范围,当区域或国家移动到警报级别 3 和 4 时提供,为期 7 天,并帮助符合条件的企业继续向员工支付工资并保护工作。提高工资率是为了反映工资成本的增加。·        复兴支持付款 (RSP) 是一种付款,旨在帮助支持企业或组织,由于 COVID-19 警报级别增加到 2 级或更高,因此需要一次性成本。这可与WSS同时提供给符合条件的公司”。  “关于申请WSS的更多细节将很快在社会发展部的网站上提供,而关于RSP的信息将很快在税务局的网站上找到。对个人的其他现有支持包括休假支助计划(LSS)和短期缺勤付款(STAP)费率也将根据WSS增加,因为每笔付款都以相同的费率设置。政府仍然有能力对COVID-19作出反应。我们从为WSS和RSP预留的资金中剩余了10多亿纽币,如果需要,COVID-19救济和恢复基金有大约50亿美元。我们的净债务状况远远低于预测,也远低于其他国家。强有力的公共卫生反应使我们获得了强有力的经济反应,并将经济活动恢复到COVID前的水平。我们的反应将继续以这些原则为基础” 格兰特·罗伯逊说。· 工资补贴计划: (WSS) 允许全国任何地方的合格雇主可以申请 WSS,如果他们预计由于今天宣布的警报级别提高而损失 40 的收入。自2020年3月首次使用WSS以来,WSS费率已提高,以反映工资成本的上升。企业将有资格获得每名全职同等员工每周 600纽币,每名兼职员工每周 359纽币。工资补贴将作为两周一次付清。申请于8月20日星期五开放,第一批付款通常在三天后提供。·        如果公司因警报级别增加而损失 30 的收入,则可获得恢复支持付款 (RSP)。RSP 的价值最高可达 1500纽币,每个全职同等员工价值高达 400纽币,最多为 50 名全职员工(因此最多为 21,500 纽币)。·        休假支助计划(LSS)为全职工人提供每周585.80纽币的两周一次性付款,为非全时工人每周支付350美元,他们必须自我隔离,不能在家工作。更多信息可在此处获取。·        短期缺勤付款 (STAP) 为因 COVID-19 测试而必须缺勤且不能在家工作的工人提供一次性(每 30 天一次)350纽币的付款。有关此付款的更多信息,有关此付款,可在 MSD 网站上查阅。

Govt triggers business support following COVID community case New Zealand Minister of FinanceSignificantThe evening of July 17, Government support for businesses and workers has been triggered following a rise in alert levels to combat COVID-19 in the community, Grant Robertson said. “The Minister for Social Development and Employment Carmel Sepuloni and I have activated a number of business support measures to provide certainty to businesses and workers and ensure we get money out the door quickly to protect jobs and keep firms’ operating,” Grant Robertson said. The measures include:·         The Wage Subsidy Scheme (WSS) which is available nationally when there’s a regional or national move to Alert Levels 3 and 4 for a period of seven days and helps eligible businesses keep paying staff and protect jobs. The rates have been raised to reflect increased wage costs.·         The Resurgence Support Payment (RSP) is a payment to help support businesses or organisations with one-off costs due to a COVID-19 alert level increase to level 2 or higher. This is available to eligible firms at the same time as the WSS. More details on applying for the WSS will be available soon on the Ministry of Social Development’s website, while information on the RSP can soon be found on Inland Revenue’s website. Other existing support for individuals includes the Leave Support Scheme (LSS) and Short-Term Absence Payment (STAP) rates will also be increased in line with the WSS, as each of these payments is set at the same rate: “The Government remains well-placed to respond to COVID-19. We have over $1 billion left over from the money set aside for WSS and RSP and if needed, the COVID-19 Relief and Recovery Fund has around $5 billion in it. Our net debt position is much lower than forecast and well below other countries,” Grant Robertson said. “A strong public health response has given us a strong economic response and put economic activity back to pre-COVID levels. Our response will continue to be based on those principles.” ·         The Wage Subsidy Scheme (WSS) allows eligible employers anywhere in the country can apply for the WSS if they expect a loss of 40 percent of revenue as a result of the Alert Level increase announced today. The WSS rates have been increased to reflect the increase in wage costs since the scheme was first used in March 2020. Businesses will be eligible for $600 per week per full-time equivalent employee, and $359 per week per part-time employee. The Wage Subsidy will be paid as a two-week lump sum. Applications open on Friday 20 August with the first payments usually available after three days.·         A Resurgence Support Payment (RSP) is available if firms incur a loss of 30 percent of revenue as a result of the Alert Level increase. The RSP is worth up to $1500 plus $400 per full-time equivalent employee, up to a maximum of 50 full-time employees (so up to a total of $21,500).·         The Leave Support Scheme (LSS) provides a two-week lump sum payment of either $585.80 per week for full-time workers, or $350 per week for part-time workers, who must self-isolate and cannot work from home. More information is available here.·         The Short-Term Absence Payment (STAP) provides a one-off (once per 30 days) $350 payment for workers who must miss work due to a COVID-19 test and cannot work from home. Further information about this payment is available on the MSD website.
