Hello!
In the current economic conditions our company plans to apply for compensation under the short-time work scheme (Kurzarbeit). We are in the tourism industry. Are there any restrictions?

    Hello, Tom!
    There could be restrictions if your business is subject to regular seasonal fluctuations, and the slowdown can be attributed to those. However, if your employees work less than under typical conditions and the cause is clearly identified as measures taken by the authorities due to COVID-19, then you should consider applying. Please collect and keep all evidence that the losses that your business incurs are the result of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. I suggest that you contact your local branch of the Economic Directorate (Volkswirtschaftsdirektion), they can provide you with more information.
