A similar short-time working scheme is to be extended into 2022. However, the government has split the program into two.
Severely affected industries such as gastronomy, hotels and aviation can apply for a subsidy of up to 90% of a worker s wage. Companies must be able to prove a 50% loss of sales to continue to receive the full subsidy.
For employees in those sectors less affected, funding for reduced-hours working will be slowly cut back until the middle of next year.
Local media reported that 1.2 million jobs have been saved at a cost of €8.2 billion, so far. The government says 330,000 people remain on the program, which should fall by more than half by the end of the summer.
