A Message from Emily Henderson

Alison Neighbourly Lead from Kamo

Business Update: Financial support to move to traffic light system
• Transition payment of up to $24,000 as businesses move into traffic light system
• Leave Support Scheme and Short Term Absence Payment available under new framework
• Further targeted support will be considered once framework beds in
• RSP adjusted to support recently acquired businesses

A new one-off transition payment will be made available particularly for affected businesses in Auckland, Waikato and Northland to acknowledge the restrictions they have faced under the higher Alert Levels.

It will be available on December 10.

This payment is at a higher base rate than the current RSP and will be $4,000 per business plus $400 per FTE up to a cap of 50 FTEs – a maximum payment of $24,000.

Please share with businesses.
