The new rules are set to start in November and should allow shorter working hours with a part of the wage being paid by the state.  Sectors to be supported by the scheme will be selected by the government if these were threatened by economic fallout, natural crises, epidemics, or cyberattacks. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/1060c60a6df1668be8819734a05aa180.jpg?timestamp=1691483916 https://english.radio.cz/government-approves-new-short-time-work-subsidy-scheme-8693215 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
