The programme “Antivirus” has been extended significantly. Currently, it is planned to provide the possibility to ask for government support for employers falling into one of the following case groups:

5 Case Groups

Group A – Individual employees are in mandatory quarantine

  • Employee obtains substitute salary amounting to 60% of his average salary
  • Employer obtains state aid in the full amount of the paid out substitute salary

Group B – Employer´s business has been closed by government order, employees have been released from work

  • Employee obtains substitute salary amounting to 100% of his average salary
  • Employer obtains state aid amounting to 80% of the paid out substitute salary

Group C – Employer has to release employees from work, because a significant number of his employees (30% or more) are in mandatory quarantine or need to take care of their children

  • Employee obtains substitute salary amounting to 100% of his average salary
  • Employer obtains state aid amounting to 80% of the paid out substitute salary

Group D – Employer has to release employees from work due to a lack of indispensable materials of services

  • Employee obtains substitute salary amounting to 80% of his average salary
  • Employer obtains state aid amounting to 50% of the paid out substitute salary

Group E – Employer has to release employees from work due to a decline in demand for his products or services

Please note, that the above-mentioned rules are currently still undergoing shortened legislation procedures. Therefore, filings for state aid under the programme may be made only after the respective laws have been finalised.
