雇調金支給額、６兆円超え　コロナ特例、段階的縮小へ―厚労省

　厚生労働省は２９日、新型コロナウイルス対策として導入した雇用調整助成金（緊急雇用安定助成金を含む）の特例措置について、支給決定額が累計６兆円を超えたと発表した。ただ、最近は経済活動の再開を背景に支給ペースが鈍化。特例措置が人手不足に悩む業種への人材移動を妨げているとの指摘もあり、政府は段階的に縮小する方向で調整している。
　雇調金は、雇用の維持を図るため、事業主が従業員を解雇せずに休ませた場合に支払う休業手当の一部を助成する制度。通常は１人１日当たり８３５５円を上限に助成している。（2022/08/29-18:57）

The Japanese government has decided to pay over 6 trillion yen in special subsidies to help firms maintain employment amid the coronavirus crisis, the labor ministry said Monday.
   The total amount came to 6,005.5 billion yen as of Friday, according to the ministry.
   Under its employment adjustment subsidy program, the government normally provides up to 8,355 yen per worker per day to companies that pay temporary leave allowances without eliminating jobs.
   However, the upper limit on the subsidies has been raised to 15,000 yen for businesses deemed severely affected by the pandemic.
   According to people familiar with the matter, the special financial aid works to prevent a workforce shift to businesses facing manpower shortages.
