Applications for support money for absence from work in response to the new coronavirus infection have begun

What is the support payment for absence from work in response to the new corona for individuals?
Workers at companies that cannot make use of the employment adjustment subsidy are eligible for this program, and 80% of their wages are paid according to their absence from work (up to ¥330,000 per month).
Student part-time workers, foreign workers, and technical interns are eligible for this subsidy, even if they are not insured by unemployment insurance, as long as they are employed. Registered temporary workers and day laborers are also covered if they meet the requirements, but overseas workers, day laborers, and part-time public servants of local governments are not covered.

How to apply 　
The application can be made by either the worker or the employer. 　
To apply, you need an application for payment and a confirmation of payment requirements, identification documents, a copy of the cash card or a copy of the bankbook, and a copy of a document that confirms the amount of wages paid before and during the absence from work.

In the case of the application in person, the employer must fill out a confirmation of requirements form 　
The Confirmation of Payment Requirements form includes a box for the employer to fill out to certify the absence from work, and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's Q&A states that, at a minimum, the employer must confirm the fact of the worker's employment, wage payment and absence from work. 　
If the employer refuses to provide proof of absence from work, the worker is required to report the fact that the employer's cooperation cannot be obtained, along with the background circumstances, and the employer is required to report to the Labour Bureau. 　
In addition, if an employee intentionally makes a false certification to receive the support payments, the employer is ordered to not only cancel the decision to receive the payments, but also to pay the full amount of the payments, as well as a late fee of 3% per year from the day following the date of the illegal receipt until the date of payment, and an amount equivalent to twice the amount of the return.

Documents to confirm the amount of wages during absence 　
If the amount of wages cannot be confirmed by the wage ledger, pay slips, or wage payment book, the payment cannot be made (for new graduates who have not worked a day, the contract of employment, notice of working conditions, etc. must be attached). The cooperation of the employer is also required to provide these documents.
