The Government of the Slovak republic approved changes in the First Aid project | News Flash

5 Nov 2020

Due to ongoing unfavourable situation related to the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, the Government of the Slovak republic decided to renegotiate the project to support the maintenance of the employment based on which the employers may apply for a contribution to the wages of their employees and the self-employed persons may apply for a compensation for loss of income.

The project is extended until March 2021

Originally, the drawing of the funds from the First Aid project was supposed to end by the end of this calendar year. However, the government approved its extension for the next period from January 2021 until March 2021.
