Information Note on the Temporary Employment Subsidy Scheme
On 23rd June the Government presented the Social Partners with a paper proposing some Further Measures to Support National Recovery.
One such measure is the introduction of a Temporary Employment Subsidy Scheme.
The details of the scheme are currently being finalised but it’s proposed that the Scheme will involve a subsidy to firms to retain a person in employment, for a period which would be limited to 15 months or end-2010 whichever is earlier, with a subsidy of a maximum of €200 per week per employee with a tapered reduction towards the end of the period. It’s intended that the Scheme would be managed by Enterprise Ireland.
Further information on the Scheme will be announced once it is finalised.
In the meantime, more information is available in the document Further Measures to Support National Recovery which can be accessed through the link below or on the website of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment ( www.entemp.ie ).
