Ausserrhoden default compensation
Cultural professionals and cultural enterprises in the Canton of Ausserrhoden have until September 20 to submit applications for compensation to the Office for Culture.
According to the canton's announcement, cultural workers in the canton of Ausserrhoden can apply for compensation for lost engagements and commissions from July 1, 2020. These are engagements and commissions that would have been expected during normal cultural operations and fall within the period from July 1 to October 31.
The financial losses incurred in this way are checked for plausibility using the budget and the comparative figures or invoices from the two previous years. In connection with lost income due to fewer audiences, it is necessary to declare which protection concept was applied in which period. The loss compensation can be claimed for events, engagements and orders until October 31, 2020.
It is important to note that the submission deadline for all applications is September 20, 2020. Late applications can no longer be considered, the canton points out. The Office of Culture recommends submitting applications close to the last possible submission deadline of September 20, 2020, as it is hardly possible to calculate in advance the ongoing damage resulting from fewer audiences, additional expenses or lost engagements and commissions.
