MADRID, 19 (EUROPA PRESS)
The companies that, as in the case of central Campofrío burned in Burgos, are obliged to stop your activity and suspend contracts or reduce days for reasons of force majeure may apply to the Social Security an exemption of up to 100% in the payment of contributions (both for common contingencies and professional) corresponding to the affected workers.
The condition is that companies agree to keep all jobs (excluding, where appropriate, workers relocated to other workplaces) for one year after termination of the suspension or reduction as well as to make the necessary reinvestment to ensure the restoration of these activities affected.
So contemplated in Royal Decree that regulates Activation Program for Employment, approved Friday by the Council of Ministers, on the which states that this exemption will be valid for up to one year, renewable for another if reinvestment commitments and employment are maintained.
In case of failure of the two requirements (reactivation and maintenance employment), the company must repay the exemptions applied in respect of these workers.
At a press conference, the Minister for Employment, Fatima Banez, specified that this exemption is intended for cases in which it occurs “catastrophic, unforeseeable and unavoidable” occurrence involving total or partial destruction of facilities of the company or workplace, such as the fire in the Burgos factory Campofrío.
The case of force majeure own will be credited on a mandatory report issued by the Special Directorate of the General Directorate of Labour Inspection.
OTHER CONDITIONS.
According to Royal Decree, the company that wants to apply this aid must be current in fulfilling their tax and social security obligations as well as having secured objects indispensable to perform the same productive activity when the catastrophic event that determines the force majeure own place.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, explained that this provision fills a “loophole” that has been revealed after the event in Burgos.
