Emilianidou told Alpha TV on Tuesday that the ministry’s aim was for all the allowances to those eligible to be paid by April 14.
She added that employers who have applied for help under the schemes because of the impact of the coronavirus crisis on their operations (mandatory closure/drop in turnover) must pay employees’ salaries for the first half of March.
Employees should report any violation of their right on 1433 or by email or letter.
