Level 3 in Auckland and Level 2 in the rest of New Zealand will continue until at least the 26th August. Because Auckland is our most populous city, many businesses, particularly tourism businesses, across the country are affected. The government has extended the wage subsidy for a further two weeks.
If you had the previous wage subsidies, and have experienced a 40% drop in revenue, you will qualify.
Applications can be made from 1pm on 21 August 2020 to 11:59pm on 3 September 2020. It is open to employers throughout New Zealand. This only applies after your previous subsidies have run out. So if you recently applied for a subsidy, you will probably not qualify for this one.
