The package includes a new Job Support Scheme (JSS) and an extension to the SEISS.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Under the next phase of the SEISS, eligible people will be able to claim a taxable grant covering 20% of their average monthly trading profits, paid out in a single instalment covering 3 months\u2019 worth of profits, and capped at £1,875 in total.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Under the Job Support Scheme, employees must be working 33% of their usual hours. For every hour not worked by the employee, both the Government and employer will pay a third each of the usual hourly wage for that employee. The Government contribution will be capped at £697.92 a month.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The Government has broadly aligned the next SEISS grant with the Government\u2019s contribution to the Job Support Scheme. The extension is not intended to provide a direct income replacement, as people will be continuing to work while claiming the grant. Those who require more support may have access to other elements of the Government\u2019s support package.<\/p>"}
