The government announced the 'Noodmaatregel Overbrugging voor Werkgelegenheid' (emergency bridging funds for employment or NOW) at the end of March. This temporary measure ran from April to June 2020.
However, the corona crisis still has a significant impact on our society and economy, which is why, on 20 May, the government announced that the measure would be extended until 1 October 2020. This renewed arrangement is also called NOW 2.0.
NOW 2.0 Terms and Conditions
To qualify for compensation, employers must meet several conditions, such as a loss of turnover of 20% or more and a 100% payment of employee salaries. All terms and conditions - and an explanation of the extended NOW scheme - are published on the website of the Dutch government (Dutch).
Compared to the first NOW, NOW 2.0 has some additional conditions, such as the commitment of employers to encourage their employees to undertake training or retraining.
