An update on the Winter Economy Plan by Andrew James Crawford
The Chancellor recently outlined the government’s Winter Economy Plan which includes a new job support scheme and a self-employed grant extension. These measures aim to help workers affected by coronavirus by allowing a third grant for the self-employed and includes a new job support scheme to contribute toward employees’ wages. See here for the latest updates/revision to the Winter Economy Plan.
The grant extension is for self-employed individuals who are currently eligible for the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme and are actively continuing to trade, but are facing reduced demand due to coronavirus (COVID-19).
The Job Support Scheme is designed to protect viable jobs in businesses who are facing lower demand over the winter months due to Covid-19, to help keep their employees attached to the workforce. The company will continue to pay its employee for time worked, but the burden of hours not worked will be split between the employer and the Government (through wage support) and the employee (through a wage reduction), and the employee will keep their job.
