Support package timely

BusinessNZ says the support package announced today for employers and employees is timely.

Chief Executive Phil O’Reilly says the rapid support for Christchurch businesses and staff will be welcomed by those affected by last week’s earthquake.

“This will help reduce the uncertainty and disconnection felt in many Christchurch businesses while providing practical funding.

“This is a good start that will help Christchurch businesses move towards recovery,” Mr O’Reilly said.
