Since yesterday evening it has become completely clear that our government will compensate the approach to financial loss of wages for employers, including Moofpeople as a specialized payroll company, even more generously compared to the earlier reports on part-time unemployment.
This extended scheme is called: Temporary Emergency Bridging Measure for Retention of Work (NOW).
Main principles of this expansion:
For a period of 3 months, March-May 2020, not to lay off employees on economic grounds. In other words, job security for every employee at this point
Continued payment of wages of 100% to all employees during this period, including employees working on zero hours or on-call basis, cf. the statutory rules
Demonstrable decrease in turnover of at least 20% calculated from March 1, 2020 (therefore a bit of retroactive effect)
Depending on the level of the decrease in turnover, there is a graduated scale that ultimately determines the level of the wage cost subsidy (to be paid by the UWV to Moofpeople). This wage cost subsidy will then amount to a maximum of 90% (so a part of the deductible wage costs remains, about which I hope to be able to provide more clarity in terms of policy in due course).
The NOW will be worked out in more detail and policy rules in the next few days
serving
We, Moofpeople, take care of the employership for your employees. Over the next 3 months, we will pass on the wages to all our payroll employees working for you. Those who cannot work based on the NOW described above and of course those who can work (whether or not from home) based on the normal situation (unchanged compared to the period before the corona outbreak).
In addition, we are going and therefore do not have to fire anyone on economic grounds during these 3 months. That gives peace of mind, for everyone. From this peace of mind we hope to be able to make progress together again. To endure and survive this uncertain time.
We will also be of service in the field of inventory loss of turnover. We already know the decrease in turnover of a large number of our customers, as a result of the Part-time unemployment forms already submitted in recent days. We will of course include this information in the final wage cost determination. For the short term (a few days) this document may still be used towards Moofpeople. As soon as the new policy rules have been determined, we will of course provide further instructions.
We will also be of service around the enormous amount of questions that will undoubtedly come (again). Give us some extra time (and especially rest), because the most important thing for the short term (known within the NOW for now, so 3 months): the continued payment of wages to the employees is well organized by us. Pass this on to the employees, so that they can also remain vital due to the certainty of finances. With the extra plus: vital employees can help fellow people who need help more. Take care of each other. Be of service to one another.
Satisfying
Above all, we are grateful that no serious cases of corona are known in our immediate vicinity. From my personal conviction that we receive health and cannot buy it, I wish everyone very good health and the sick among us and in our society: Best wishes!
