Is the compensation scheme in Ireland any cop?
Sort of. If one simply stops working one gets the free loot. If one does any paying work, one loses the free loot. All of it.
So I have to assess whether there is enough out there to continue to trade, or shall I abandon customers entirely.
Now, the last on site I did was to facilitate a customer + staff working from home.
If I got one of those a week, I am nowhere financially, but if I accept the government money, I can't do that anyway else I lose the gov loot.
Rock and a hard place.
ETA: To be fair, the gov is hurling money at people, fair play. But solo folks like me end up in a kind of limbo. I HAVE to serivice the customer. Otherwise somebody else will.
