With the declared state of alarm, which entails the closure of non-essential businesses and the limitation of movements, it is expected that activity will decrease. Self-employed workers and companies are already warning of the economic impact that the coronavirus crisis will have on their businesses. Last week, the Executive approved a package of measures to mitigate the impact, but businessmen and unions are asking for more. The Government meets this Tuesday in a new council of ministers and everything indicates that the flexibility of temporary employment regulation files , known as ERTE, will be on its agenda.
Last week, unions and employers in a joint document already made this request to make the deadlines more flexible, requesting that in these cases it would not be counted as part of the strike and that this would serve to guarantee the viability of the companies in order to avoid closures. In this sense, according to Cadena Ser , the Executive would approve tomorrow a change in labor C Level Contact List legislation that would allow the coronavirus crisis to be considered as a temporary force majeure and therefore make this aspect more flexible. Among the measures that are being negotiated would also be the possibility that those workers with lower incomes have the right to unemployment benefits, even if they do not comply with the necessary contribution period, according to the same source.
These are the economic measures that the Government has not yet approved to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus crisis Another measure that the Government may approve tomorrow, according to Cadena Ser, is the expansion of the loan package through the ICO. Last week , the Executive approved loans of 400 million euros for transport and tourism companies, which could now reach 50,000 million euros. What could remain on the table in this council of ministers is the measure to help families with children who cannot telework, according to Cinco Días . The self-employed ask for more help In addition to these measures, the Government may be studying new aid for the self-employed. The association of self-employed workers ATA has already requested that the payment of the fee be suspended for the duration of the quarantine.
