Job Support Scheme

The Job Support Scheme (JSS) is a government initiative designed to support businesses and protect jobs during economic downturns, such as those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides financial assistance to employers, enabling them to retain employees while facing reduced demand for their services. The scheme encourages businesses to keep staff on the payroll by covering a portion of employees' wages. This helps stabilize the workforce and promotes a quicker economic recovery as businesses can retain skilled employees rather than laying them off.
