Agreement From Employees to Apply for the Subsidy | Practical Advice

Mon Aug. 23rd 2021

It has come to our attention that before applying for the subsidy employers must take all practicable steps to obtain consent from their staff to share their personal information with the Ministry of Social Development.

Even if you did this last year the advice we have received is that the exercise should be repeated for the current subsidy.

If you have already applied for the subsidy and don’t have the written consent from staff to apply, we recommend you do this as soon as possible.

If you would like the template for this purpose please let us know or if you have any questions, just call.

She works in a methodical, efficient and respectful way and has built my trust as we have worked together. I also find value in the diverse set of skills and services Thelma can offer which has led to a significant updating of policies and documentation.
