Application for wage payment compensations

The Federal Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry for Work, Social Affairs and Health of North Rhine Westphalia conducted a fast-track design thinking process (digitalization lab) to come up with an online application, which allows businesses to claim compensations for continued wage payments in case of government-imposed quarantines on employees, closures of schools and kindergartens as well as bans on work for certain groups of employees. The concept for the online application was quickly implemented and serves the majority of German states. It features a backend-system allowing for a quick processing of compensation claims by local authorities.
