015 - new Covid-19 subsidies & payments + border crossing requirements - February 2021

Given that Covid-19 has been brought front-and-centre back into our lives and our businesses this week, I thought it might be a good idea to have a chat about the latest business subsidy available to clinics – and thus their teams – this week, what to do if one of your team members tests positive – the subsidy available to you, and then what you need to do if you or someone in your clinic needs to cross different alert level borders.

The government has recently made changes the suite of financial support available on account of the pandemic’s impact on Godzone’s businesses.

In today’s episode we’re going to cover:

  • The Covid 19 Short-Term Absence Payment subsidy – this affects employees and self-employed contractors
  • The Covid-19 Leave Support Subsidy, and
  • How to get the paperwork so that you or your team can cross borders

This episode is helpful for employees, self-employed locum contractors, HR & Practice Managers and clinic owners.

On the financial side of things, this episode is especially helpful if you’re wondering how you’re going to afford to cover an employee’s wage if they’re awaiting Covid-19 test results and are at home isolating, or if you’re the employee worrying about whether you can financially afford to be at home awaiting test results.

And if you’re part of a clinic – or you’re a locum – who needs to travel across Covid-19 imposed alert level borders to work, then this is also for you.
