I can feel a lot of guys having the sniffles, talking a 2 week holiday self isolating and then picking up a cheque for 4 or 5 k.
Would be nice to get paid for a holiday.
I took the first grant, I was definitely effected. Me and my wife work together, and the conflicting information said it was best if you “worked alone”. So I just worked myself for3 months. I had contract work on hold, and compared to my previous years income I can categorically look and show my earnings were down.
This next one might be different. I’m going to wait a while till I make my decision.
As always the government guidelines are ambiguous. It says if you were “adversely effected”, but then in the scenarios they give you, it seems to show regardless of income, if your able to work then you don’t qualify.
I’m leaning more to the side of not taking the second grant, but that may change. We’ve still got Atleast 2 or 3 months to decide.
