The Government's today beefed up its the Leave Support Scheme - with a one-off 350 dollar absence payment.
The money will go to the employer - to pay workers who need to stay home - on public health advice.
Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says they don't want finances to stop people isolating after a test.
He says they acknowledge that if a few staff are getting tested - it can be a significant cost on a business.
