Has anyone any idea if the Spanish government is doing anything to assist business owners with paying their staff and or helping with their personal living costs? from what I can glean from family and friend in the UK, it would appear if you are an employee you receive 80% of your normal wage/salary, and if you are self employed you receive up to? £2500 per month, which comes from the Government, but here it would appear, that they have to pay their staff as normal, and when this is all over the staff will over a period of time reimburse their employer by I assume working unpaid hours, surely if this is the case it is unsustainable as now we are talking about at least a 6 week lockdown, I am thinking particularly new businesses eg The Hop Scotch restaurant here in Caletta it had only been open a couple of weeks before the lockdown started, similarly Chaplins in Monte Castillounder new ownership circa 2 weeks before lockdown
