The JSS which was due to end after March 2021, will now be extended by another 6 months to cover the April to September 2021 period. However, only businesses in the Tier 1 and Tier 2 category will receive support, meaning Tier 3 sector companies will not receive JSS support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tier 1,\nwhich includes the worst affected sectors, will receive the full six-month JSS\nextension support with subsidies covering 30% of employee wages from April to\nJune 2021, and then 10% from July to September 2021.
