Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister has announced the extension of the Back to Work Program to support more businesses in bringing back their employees. He explains this program reimburses fifty percent of wages on new hires or laid off rehires up to five thousand dollars per employee and this will help private sector businesses and not for profit charities bring back former staff or hire new staff. He notes this change increases the maximum level of financial support available to employers from fifty thousand to one hundred thousand dollars.
The application deadline is October 1st and Pallister encourages business owners, potential employers in both the private sector and non-profit roles to visit the Restart Manitoba website for detailed information.
