PHILIPSBURG:--- Minister of Finance Irion Ardwell made good on his promise to the people of St. Maarten by releasing the names of companies that received payroll support for the months of April and May 2020.
The Minister had to amend the regulation which allowed him to release the names of companies that applied and received support.
During the past months, several persons called on the Minister to publicize the names of the companies that were getting the support because too many workers were complaining that they have not been receiving their salaries.
While the Government of St. Maarten paid 80% of salaries the Dutch Government demanded that only 60% be paid out as of June 2020.
The list encompasses in its totality the employers that have received payroll support via the St. Stimulus and Relief Plan. An average of NAf 13,000,000.00 per month in payroll support was subsidized by the Government of St. Maarten which assisted in paying over 6,100 employees per month.
Once again the government would like to thank our executing partners SZV for their continued support through this process.
The Minister of Finance would like to remind the general public that the portal for the June Payroll Support is currently open and can be accessed through www.ssrp.sx or your employer portal, registration closes on August 14th, 2020.
