The Law Firm has advised on obtaining funds from the so-called anti-crisis shield for protecting jobs

The Law Firm advised in obtaining funds from the so-called anti-crisis shield for protecting jobs of employees of an enterprise subject to so-called economic downtime as a result of the occurrence of COVID-19. Thanks to the determination and good cooperation of our Law Firm, the Provincial Labor Office in Katowice has positively assessed the applications for payment of benefits for job protection submitted in April this year from the resources of the Guaranteed Employee Benefits Fund, granting the applicant compensation for the economic downtime of employees in the amount of over half a million PLN per month, paid out in that amount every month during the three-month period of support. Such a fast receipt of the support was possible thanks to the Law Firm's lawyers' ongoing monitoring of the regulations concerning the so-called anti-crisis shield and efficient and timely filing of applications with the FGŚP, as well as conclusion of an agreement between the employer and employees pursuant to art. 15g sec. 11 et seq. of the Act of 31 March 2020 amending the Act on special solutions related to preventing, counteracting and combating COVID-19, other infectious diseases and crisis situations caused by them as well as some other acts (Journal of Laws of 31.03.2020, item 568). Attorneys at Law Magdalena Włodarczyk, Marcin Duda and Partner of Law Firm Bogna Pakuła advised in the process of obtaining financing.
