Around 405,000 employees are currently having their wages supported by the state under the Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme, according to the latest figures from the Revenue Commissioners.
This week's statistics indicate that over 552,200 employees have received at least one subsidy payment since the scheme was launched on 26 March.
247,300 received TWSS subsidies last week, but this weekly figure fluctuates depending on whether workers are paid on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.
Over 62,800 employers have now registered with the Revenue for the TWSS, and over 56,900 have received subsidy payments. However, the Revenue Commissioners estimate that 9,300 employers have withdrawn from the TWSS, which they believe accounts for 54,600
