From the 1^st of September the Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme (TWSS) will be replaced with the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (EWSS) until 31^st Mar 2021.

Employers with a 30% reduction in turnover or customer orders between 1^st Jul and 31^st Dec will now receive a flat-rate subsidy per week depending on the number of employees on payroll who qualify.
The rate will be based on the gross income of each employee as follows:

• Employers must review they meet the eligibility criteria on the last day of every month.
• Employers will be required to pay employees in the normal manner by deducting income tax, USC and PRSI form employee’s pay.
• EWSS will not appear on payslips or in myAccount, it is paid directly to the employer.

Eligible employers can register now.  For more detailed information visit https://dbei.gov.ie
