The Government is preparing an economic shield for businesses, self-employed workers and workers affected by the impact of DANA, which will be detailed in a few minutes by the Second Vice President Yolanda Díaz after meeting with the union and economic representatives of the Valencian Community . Sources from the Ministry of Labor suggest that companies will be able to benefit from Erte in cases of force majeure with a deduction of at least 90% of social security contributions. Self-employed workers, for their part, will benefit from more flexible access to cessation of activity, an allowance which functions like “unemployment” for this group. The Executive wishes to strengthen teleworking or compensate for absences to avoid unnecessary travel.
Temporary employment regulation files (ERTE) for temporary force majeure are due to a cessation of the company’s activity motivated by “unintentional, unforeseeable facts or events, external to the circle of the company which make it temporarily impossible to ‘work activity’, as Job explains. . This first point is justified by the impact of DANA in the Valencian Community and, more precisely, in the most affected area, Horta Sud.
A planned bonus for paying social security contributions of 90% and even 100% from which businesses can benefit. In any case, the Government makes the disbursement of public money conditional on the protection of staff, ban layoffs.
Self-employed people have a specific system of protection in the event of cessation of activity, the equivalent of “unemployment” for employees, and it can be temporary or permanent. To facilitate your access, Social Security will not take into account the need to justify contribution periods to calculate the duration during which you will be able to benefit from the benefit.
This protection includes payment of a monthly financial allowance for cessation of activity, and Social Security contributions for common unforeseen circumstanceswith particularities in certain cases.
The government also wants avoid risks to your health, non-essential travel or retaliation from work in the face of difficulties caused by the disaster (e.g. punctuality or on-site work). They will legally strengthen these situations so that the worker is not forced to go to work if his health is in danger in the following cases that the minister has put forward in detail, the absences will be paid:
- If a move puts your safety at risk or interferes with rescue and recovery efforts, and your business is incompatible with teleworking.
- If you have to care for missing loved ones or deal with the death of a family member.
- If you have lost your home or belongings and cannot get to your workplace.
- If you have to care for members of your family due to the closure of schools, residences or public services in general.
