Self-help BEAT COVID MEASURES in the Excluded Sector –
Part time BEAT COVID MEASURES in the Included Sector
Following on from the Chief Minister's press conference of
May the 4th, Her Majesty's Government of Gibraltar has now
published an amendment to the Appropriation (Business Employee
Assistance Terms COVID-19) Regulations 2020 setting out the terms
applicable to the private sector BEAT furlough scheme.
Any Excluded Sector businesses can now, with the approval of the
Financial Secretary, seek to designate their employees as
'inactive' with the consent of the Director of
Employment.
If consent is granted, the employer would be able to pay their
inactive employees either 50% of their salary or the BEAT COVID
rate, whichever is the higher.
