EWSS Eligibility Criteria (July 1st to December 31st, 2021)

The primary eligibility criteria are that employers must be able to show that they were operating at no more than 70% of turnover or customer orders received from July 1 to December 31, 2021, which corresponds to the 12-month period in 2019 (January to December 2019), and that this disruption was caused by Covid-19.

Every month, evaluate the following to see if a company qualifies for EWSS from July 2021 onwards

Acutal January to June 2021 turnover plus projected July to December 2021 turnover is less than Actual turnover for 2019 (Jan to December 2019) multiplied by 70% then the firm is qualified for EWSS.
