The COVID-19 Unemployment Relief Program, which is being implemented through the Labour Department, is directly contacting employers, who have been identified by applicants for the program, to assist the employment verification process.
Employers can help their former staff to get the assistance that they qualify for if they provide a list of employees who have been laid off. Some employers have already done so, even before being asked and this is very helpful to the process. Employers should provide the names, social security numbers and the dates the employees were laid off.
Please send this information to unemployment@covid19.bz.
This request does not extend to businesses that are seeking assistance through the MSME Support Program.
