The Minister has backed these calls with an extra £10 million package to help protect workers not eligible for the UK Government’s job retention scheme and wider support for those in need of urgent financial help.


The Welsh Government has pressed the UK Chancellor to urgently guarantee wage support for workers affected by business closure who risk falling through the gaps between the Job Retention Scheme and the new Job Support Scheme and has put forward a number of different ways of doing so, but so far without receiving a positive response.


With the all\-Wales firebreak starting this evening, the Welsh Government is now stepping in to increase by £5 million the £20 million discretionary fund provided to local authorities to support businesses retain those workers at risk of falling through the gaps in support. This fund is on top of the £300 million package of grants announced last week.


In addition, an extra £5 million will also be provided to the Discretionary Assistance Fund which provides grants to people in need of urgent help during the crisis, including those waiting for benefit payments and those in employment who are facing hardship.


Finance Minister Rebecca Evans said:



> “Only the UK Government can alter these wage support schemes but they have refused to make changes which would have protected workers at risk of falling through the gaps.
> 
> 
> “While UK Ministers fail to act, I am today adding a further £5 million to our discretionary businesses support grants and call on employers to use this funding to retain workers not eligible for the Job Retention Scheme between 23 and 31 October.
> 
> 
> “The Wales only Economic Resilience Fund has already helped to secure over 100,000 jobs during this crisis by providing businesses with the most generous support package anywhere in the UK.


The Minister added:



> “We cannot protect every job and every business hit by this global pandemic, but we are taking every action we can to support people in need of urgent financial help which is why a further £5 million will be dedicated to support our Discretionary Assistance fund.

I gefnogi hyn, mae’r Gweinidog wedi darparu pecyn ychwanegol o £10 miliwn i helpu i ddiogelu gweithwyr nad ydynt yn gymwys ar gyfer Cynllun Cadw Swyddi Llywodraeth y DU a’r cymorth ehangach ar gyfer y bobl sydd angen cymorth ariannol ar frys.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi pwyso ar Ganghellor y DU i sicrhau cymorth cyflogau ar frys i weithwyr sydd wedi’u heffeithio gan yr angen i gau busnesau ac sydd mewn perygl o gwympo rhwng dwy stôl, rhwng y Cynllun Cadw Swyddi a’r Cynllun Cymorth Swyddi newydd. Cynigiwyd sawl ffordd wahanol o wneud hyn, ond ni chafwyd ateb cadarnhaol hyd yma.


Gyda’r cyfnod atal byr yn dechrau ar draws Cymru heno, mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn awr yn camu i’r adwy i ychwanegu £5 miliwn at y gronfa ddewisol o £20 miliwn a ddarperir i awdurdodau lleol i gefnogi busnesau i gadw’r gweithwyr sydd mewn perygl o beidio â bod yn gymwys am gymorth. Mae’r gronfa hon ar ben y pecyn grantiau o £300 miliwn a gyhoeddwyd yr wythnos diwethaf.


Yn ogystal, bydd £5 miliwn ychwanegol hefyd yn cael ei ddarparu i’r Gronfa Cymorth Dewisol sy’n rhoi grantiau i bobl sydd angen cymorth ar frys yn ystod yr argyfwng, gan gynnwys pobl sy’n aros am daliadau budd\-daliadau a’r bobl mewn gwaith sy’n wynebu caledi.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Cyllid Rebecca Evans:



> “Dim ond Llywodraeth y DU all addasu’r cynlluniau cymorth cyflogau hyn ond maent wedi gwrthod gwneud newidiadau a fyddai wedi diogelu gweithwyr sydd mewn perygl o gwympo rhwng dwy stôl.
> 
> 
> “Er bod Gweinidogion y DU yn anfodlon gweithredu, rwyf i heddiw yn ychwanegu £5 miliwn arall at ein grantiau cymorth busnes dewisol ac yn galw ar gyflogwyr i ddefnyddio’r cyllid hwn i gadw gweithwyr nad ydynt yn gymwys i ddefnyddio’r Cynllun Cadw Swyddi rhwng 23 a 31 Hydref.
> 
> 
> “Mae Cronfa Cadernid Economaidd Cymru eisoes wedi helpu i ddiogelu dros 100,000 o swyddi yn ystod yr argyfwng hwn drwy ddarparu’r pecyn cymorth mwyaf hael i fusnesau yn unrhyw ran o’r DU.


Ychwanegodd y Gweinidog:



> “Nid yw’n bosibl inni ddiogelu pob swydd a phob busnes sydd wedi’u heffeithio gan y pandemig byd\-eang ond rydym yn cymryd pob cam posibl i gefnogi pobl sydd angen cymorth ariannol ar frys. Dyma pam y bydd £5 miliwn ychwanegol ar gael i gefnogi ein Cronfa Cymorth Dewisol.
