Approved cases of employment adjustment subsidies amid COVID-19 Japan 2022
As of February 25, 2022, the Japanese government approved a cumulative total of around 5.9 million requests for subsidies to businesses that were facing employment adjustment due to the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVDI-19) pandemic. Close to 5.4 trillion Japanese yen of subsidies in total have been granted since the outbreak of the disease.
The government in Japan subsidizes the layoff allowances of employees so that companies that need to scale down businesses can maintain the number of employees. As a special measure amid the pandemic, the limit amount of grants per employee and the subsidy rate were raised from the usual condition.
