Difficult to get part-time staff as Covid payment is more lucrative - CSNA

The chief executive of the Convenience Stores and Newsagents Association, Vincent Jennings has claimed that it is difficult to get part-time staff because it is more lucrative for them to get the emergency €350 Covid payment than to remain in employment.

There are hundreds of employers who cannot get part-time staff so full-time workers are being asked to work longer hours, he told Newstalk Breakfast.
