EMPLOYERS CAN APPLY FOR EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATIONS UNTIL JUNE 30

Until June 30, 2020, the period for which employers can apply for the payment of compensation in order to maintain the employment of employees after the lifting of the state of emergency in the country and the declaration of a state of emergency is extended. This was decided by the government with the adoption of amendments to Decree № 55 of 2020, which regulates the terms and conditions for the implementation of the measure.

Compensation will be paid for the whole period or for a part of the period from March 13 to June 30, but for not more than three months. Employers who have received compensation under the decree should pay employees an amount not less than the amount of insurance income for January 2020.

The financial resources necessary for the payment of the compensations are from the Unemployment Fund of the state social insurance.
