COVID-19 Resurgence Wage Subsidy

Following the recent outbreak of Covid-19 in the Auckland region, the alert level is changed to Level 3 in Auckland and Level 2 for the rest of the country. The government has announced a new wage subsidy payment, the Resurgence Wage Subsidy. It's a two-week payment for businesses who meet the criteria and aren't getting the Wage Subsidy, Wage Subsidy Extension or the Leave Support Scheme.

Applications can be made from 1 pm on 21 August 2020 to 3 September 2020. It's open to employers throughout New Zealand. The 2-week payment will run from the date you apply.

You can find out more details about this subsidy on the Work and Income website.
