ZURICH, May 10 — Some Austrian companies are abusing state subsidies for staff on short-time working or using illegal workers during the coronavirus pandemic, the finance ministry said today after spot checks found hundreds of violations of the law. Austria has authorised €10 billion to support short hours, and 350 financial police officers have been doing spot checks on businesses for three weeks to measure companies’ compliance.

Some companies were taking state subsidies while letting staff work more than allowed, the ministry added.
