Using information from 126 whistleblower reports, anti-corruption nonprofit organisation Corruption Watch's 'Covid-19 TERS Corruption at Work' report reveals that mismanagement and corruption is preventing Temporary Employer / Employee Relief Scheme (TERS) benefits from reaching all eligible employees. The most common type of allegation was of employers receiving the TERS but failing to pay it over to the employees, followed by employers claiming a TERS benefit for employees who were working. Other examples included partial TERS payments rather than the full amount due to employees, false claims or failure to claim the TERS for those employees who were not working and therefore eligible, Corruption Watch head of legal and investigations Karam Singh said at a media briefing to launch the report on February 1.
