COVID-19 relief extended to August
The COVID-19 Temporary Employers/ Employee Relief Fund will be extended to August to match the extension of the national state of disaster.
Deputy Minister of Employment and Labour Boitumelo Booi said the payments would continue until August 15.
“I must say, honourable members, that it gives me great pleasure to also announce that following due diligence and consultation with the UIF actuaries and in line with the President’s decision to extend the life of the Disaster Management Act until the 15th of August 2020, we have taken a decision to similarly extend the COVID-19 TERS benefit until the 15th of August 2020,” she said during a debate on the department’s budget vote via a virtual National Assembly mini-plenary.
