MHK praises 'lasting benefits' of new initiative
A way to help those who've been without a job for three months find work by encouraging businesses to take on new staff.
It's the aim of a new government scheme to pay 70% of salaries and NI contributions, capped at the living wage of £10.19.
It's to help boost the economy and cut down on unemployment.
The 'Manx Restart Scheme' forms part of the government's financial response to Covid-19.
Middle MHK and Treasury member Bill Shimmins says the initiative could bring lasting benefits:
Lack of opportunity to study science 'could be impacting future doctors'
Glen Maye patient airlifted to the UK
Trial for man who denies being controlling and coercive
Visitors asked to avoid main cemetery entrance on Sunday
Onchan man accused of committing act against public justice
Douglas Council using reserves to pay for 'decorative' promenade lighting
