NCFA Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme Survey

NCFA EWSS SURVEY

NCFA is collecting information on the new Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (EWSS).

This survey is intended for employers only.

We are collecting information in order to feed measurements and scenarios to the government about the sector and how recent changes to the current Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme (TWSS) will negatively affect the arts and entertainment sectors. We will not ask you for any personal details but we do ask that you give as much information as you can about your experience.

Please fill this in before 6pm on Friday 14th August.
