New applications can be made for short-term employment application due to the Covid-19 force majeure reasons as of December 1, 2020 and the application period will expire on December 31, 2020.
Accordingly, employees who had not previously benefited from short-term employment allowance were given the opportunity to apply as of December 1, 2020. These employees will be able to benefit from short-term employment allowance for 3 months as of December 1, 2020.
