- Funds will be forwarded to employers who will be obliged to guarantee that the wage supplement is forwarded to the employee.
- Employees supported through the wage supplement shall not be considered to be on leave even if they are not attending to their works due to the restriction in operations as required by the health authorities or due to economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
- In certain instances, if there is agreement with the Department of Industrial And Employment Relations, employees may be required to work a four or three day week. In these instance the wage supplement would still be allocated in accordance to the parameters established above.
