Checks on paid Covid wage subsidies to take years

NL Times  

In the first round of the NOW regulation, 139 thousand companies who suffered turnover loss due to the coronavirus crisis received some 7.8 billion euros in subsidies so that they could continue paying their employees' wages. This is "an enormous job" that will take years, UWV director Janet Helder said to NOS. If the company made more turnover than expected, or if wage costs turned out to be lower, part of the subsidy will have to be paid back to the government. Part of the problem is that other coronavirus support subsidies are considered part of a company's turnover, and companies did not know whether or how much other subsidies they would receive.
