Yesterday we saw the newly formed Government announce the July Stimulus package, which among many things has decided to extend, albeit on a varied form, the PUP and the TWSS.
Currently the PUP (Pandemic Unemployment Payment) is available at two rates of either €350 per week (if you previously earned €200 or more per week) and €203 per week (if you earned less than €200 per week). The now proposed amendments to the PUP will see the introduction of three tiers of payment which will take effect from 17 September 2020 until April 2021, as follows:
The PUP will be closed to new entrants from 17 September 2020.
The second change is to the current Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme (TWSS). This will be replaced by the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (EWSS) from 1 September and is proposed to run until 31 March 2021. The purpose of the EWSS is to be a payroll support service rather than an income replacement measure like the TWSS. While we are still waiting more detail on the eligibility criteria for the new scheme we do know, that the relevant business will need to have seen a downturn in turnover of at least 30% and the support will be at a flat rate of €203 per worker.
The EWSS is also open to categories of employees that were previously excluded from the TWSS including seasonal workers and new hires, both of which will be allowed to enter the scheme early meaning they can receive payments during July and August.
More information is needed to understand the exact eligibility criteria for both schemes, and we will keep you updated on this information as soon as it is made available.
