'Sunak scheme an incentive to sack people,' warns Labour
Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak
RISHI SUNAK’S new job-support scheme (JSS) will incentivise employers in struggling sectors to sack half of their staff, Labour claimed last night.
The party warned that the design of the Chancellor’s scheme, due to replace the job-retention scheme next month, will make it more cost-effective for businesses hit by a downturn to sack one in every two workers.
This will particularly affect the hospitality sector as it heads into precarious winter months, the party claimed.
