Last update date: 2020-04-11 09:17The government earlier announced the second round of anti-epidemic funds, involving 137.5 billion yuan. The measures include the payment of salary subsidies to various industries, with a cap of 50% of the salary and a cap of 9,000 yuan. The subsidized employers are required to promise not to lay off employees for 6 months in order to achieve the purpose of ensuring employment.
The Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Luo Zhiguang, said today (11th) on the RTHK program "Accountability on Saturday" that the subsidy is expected to be open for applications from mid-May to the end of May and will be paid in June. Some people say that the time for the subsidy distribution is "so late", but Luo Zhiguang said "in fact, it has been the shortest time", also known as "in fact, if you ask me if I can do it with confidence, I am very careful and careful. , A schedule can be done first. " According to his public statement earlier, the subsidy was issued at the end of June.

The Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Luo Zhiguang, said that what is being announced is only a preliminary idea of the measure, and the intermediate details still need to be finalized. At present, the application assistance unit is still being discussed and application guidelines and details will be provided when the open application is announced.

Luo Zhiguang also pointed out that the subsidy is expected to be open for applications from mid-May to the end of May, and will be issued in June. Some people say that the time for the subsidy distribution is "so late", but Luo Zhiguang said "in fact, it has been the shortest time", also known as "in fact, you asked me if I have confidence in doing it, I am very careful and careful. Go well, you can do it first. " If the government wants to implement the project in a short period of time, some of the content of the project needs to be "relaxed." For example, some enterprises do not have financial difficulties, but after applying for subsidies, they can be paid as bonuses to their colleagues. Although they violate the original intention of the policy, they all benefit the employees, emphasizing that the policies involved need to measure cost-effectiveness and progress.

Regarding the specified salary subsidy measures cannot prevent employers from reducing wages. Luo Zhiguang said that if the condition for applying for salary subsidies is not to reduce wages, it is believed that many employers whose businesses have plummeted will not be able to apply or even be able to operate. To investigate whether each employer has reduced salary, I believe it will delay the application time of the plan by 2 to 3 months; if it is judged whether the employer ’s salary reduction is reasonable, I believe that it is necessary to search the trade records, and the administrative workload may need 50 to 100 times .
He believes that employers and employees will have labor disputes due to salary subsidies. However, in the current operating environment, labor disputes are inevitable. The current plan is only at the stage of preliminary design. Details will be announced before the application, and opinions are still being heard.
