MHK praises 'lasting benefits' of new initiative
A way to help those who've been without a job for three months find work by encouraging businesses to take on new staff.
It's the aim of a new government scheme to pay 70% of salaries and NI contributions, capped at the living wage of £10.19.
It's to help boost the economy and cut down on unemployment.
The 'Manx Restart Scheme' forms part of the government's financial response to Covid-19.
Middle MHK and Treasury member Bill Shimmins says the initiative could bring lasting benefits:
Isle of Man reviewing self-testing cervical screening kits
Former treasury minister warns against 'emotional' triple lock decision
Michael Commissioners' fun day to raise money for victims of Nepal floods
Ramsey business 'won't be reopening in its current form'
