Morocco Approves COVID-19 Relief Payments for Restaurant Workers

The Council of Government, meeting on Thursday, March 18, 2021, by videoconference under the chairmanship of Saad-Eddine El Otmani, adopted the draft decree implementing Decree-Law No. 2.20.605, published on September 15, 2020. This will help alleviate the negative effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on restaurant employees.
This is the decree setting the payment of allowances to workers in the restaurant sub-sector, for the period from January 1, 2021 until the resumption of their activity. This decree-law also concerns the end of the validity of the administrative decision ordering the closure of restaurants, said the Minister of National Education, government spokesman, Saaid Amzazi, in a statement read during a press briefing held after the Council of Government.
The draft decree also sets the methods and period of declaration for workers in the restaurant sub-sector.
