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:
UK Government 'unable to recommend Assisted Dying Bill for Royal Assent' at this time
Member of staff at Peel Commissioners under external investigation
Treasury minister welcomes news of bus deal
Yellow weather warning to come into force this morning
