Eligible are those who can prove that they are no longer able to cover the running costs or are affected by an officially ordered ban on entry due to COVID-19 or have a drop in sales of at least 50% compared to the same month of the previous year. The amount of the funding is \u20ac500 if the net income p.a. was below \u20ac6,000 and \u20ac1,000 if it was above \u20ac6,000. The upper income threshold (above which no grant is paid) is \u20ac33,812 net in the last year for which a tax assessment is available.

No upper income threshold applies, and small companies with less than ten employees and liberal professions are eligible in addition to the group eligible in phase 1. Negotiations with NGOs are currently ongoing.\rAll applicants (regardless of whether an application has already been submitted in phase 1) will have the same maximum total amount of funding of up to \u20ac6,000.\r\rIn general, applications for the Hardship Fund can be submitted until 31 January 2021.", "descriptionUseOfMeasure": "Information from 1 April 2020: Around 100,000 applications for phase one were counted so far.

Via this process then, 3.4 million self-employed individuals were identified as potentially eligible for the SEISS scheme. This means that they met the criteria for the scheme based on Self Assessment returns from the tax year 2018 to 2019 and earlier years. However, some of the potentially eligible businesses will not have been adversely affected by Coronavirus or have ceased trading since the tax year 2018 to 2019 so will not have been eligible.\r\rThe updated data shows that:\r\r* by 31 August, 2.0 million (60%) of the potentially eligible population had claimed a second SEISS grant with the value of these claims totalling GBP 5.1 billion\r* the average value per claim was GBP 2,500\r* around two-thirds of the potentially eligible population are male (2.3 million).

In all, 45% of employers in both the accommodation and food services sector and the arts, entertainment and recreation sector were using the furlough scheme at the end of October\r* Across all employer sizes, the number of employments furloughed continued to decrease between 30 September and 31 October\r* Overall, where it was possible to link the data, across the UK, 1.19 million women were furloughed at 31 October compared with 1.14 million men. This is a decrease of 229,700 women and 210,400 men when compared to 30 September\r* There was a broad consistency in furlough rates across the nations and regions of the UK at the end of October. London had the highest take-up rate of 10% against the UK average of 8%\rin most countries and regions more women than men were furloughed at 31 October, the exceptions to this being London where 210,300 women were furloughed and 220,900 men, and West Midlands where 93,500 women were furloughed and 96,800 men\r* 196,400 employers had at least one employment on flexible furlough at the end of October. In total 977,200 employments were on flexible furlough at the end of October, 41% of all furloughed employments\r* At 50%, the other service activities sector had the highest proportion of employments furloughed partially. This was followed by the accommodation and food services sector at 48%\r", "descriptionInvolvementOfSocialPartners": "Please note that the UK does not have formal institutional settings for involvement in the design, implementation and monitoring of policies although often, there will be information exchange and consultation, conducted on informal bases (this exists in addition to formal responses from the social partners to official consultations).\r\rIt is reported that the Chancellor held discussions with both the CBI and the TUC before launching the raft of emergency measures at the start of the epidemic.

The new and updated guidance sets out who will be eligible from 1 July 2020 and explains how \u201cflexible furlough\u201d will operate. From the 1 July, employers will be able to bring back furloughed workers on a flexible pattern (ie for any amount of time and on any work pattern). Employers will be able to claim a CJRS grant for the hours which flexibly furloughed employees do not work, compared to the hours they would normally have worked in that period. \rIf an employer wishes to flexibly furlough staff, they will need to obtain their employees\u2019 agreement and keep a written agreement that confirms the new furlough arrangement. This agreement must be kept for 5 years. Employers must also keep records of how many hours their employees work and the numbers of furloughed hours for 6 years. \r\r\rAlso from this date, employers will only be able to claim a grant for employees who have already been furloughed for three consecutive weeks between the 1 March and the 30 June. Thus, the last date an employee could have started furlough for the first time was the 10th of June. Companies are thus no longer able to furlough new employees, unless they have returned from maternity, shared parental, paternity or parental bereavement leave after the 10 June. These employees can be furloughed after 10 June provided that:\r\r* the employer has previously submitted a CJRS claim for another\u00a0employee in the organisation between 1 March and 30 June 2020;\r* the employee is being furloughed for the first time;\r* the employee started their Shared Parental Leave before 10 June\u00a0and returned from that leave after 10 June 2020; and\r* the employee was on the employer\u2019s PAYE payroll on or before 19 March 2020.\r\rFrom 1 July, the number of employees that employers can claim for in any single claim period cannot exceed the maximum number of employees that the employer claimed for under any claims ending by 30 June. For example, if an employer previously submitted three claims between 1 March and 30 June 2020, in which the total number of employees furloughed was 20, 30 and 50 employees respectively, the maximum number of employees that the employer can furlough in any single claim from 1 July 2020 will be 50.\r\rThe scheme has been extended until the 31st of October. The Government will continue to pay 80% of wages up to a cap of GBP 2,500 in July, as well as national insurance and pension contributions. However, from the 1 of August, the level of government grant provided through the scheme will be limited and employers\u2019 contributions will rise. \r\r\rThe timetable for changes to the scheme is as follows: \r\r* There are no changes to grant levels in June\r* In June and July, the government will pay 80% of wages up to a cap of GBP 2,500 for the hours the employee is on furlough, as well as employer National Insurance Contributions (ER NICS) and pension contributions for the hours the employee is on furlough. Employers will have to pay employees for the hours they work.\r* For August, the government will pay 80% of wages up to a cap of GBP 2,500 for the hours an employee is on furlough and employers will pay ER NICs and pension contributions for the hours the employee is on furlough\r* For September, the government will pay 70% of wages up to a cap of GBP 2,187.50 for the hours the employee is on furlough. Employers will pay ER NICs and pension contributions and top up employees\u2019 wages to ensure they receive 80% of their wages up to a cap of GBP 2,500, for time they are furloughed\r* For October, the government will pay 60% of wages up to a cap of GBP 1,875 for the hours the employee is on furlough. Employers will pay ER NICs and pension contributions and top up employees\u2019 wages to ensure they receive 80% of their wages up to a cap of GBP 2,500, for time they are furloughed.\r\rEmployers will continue to able to choose to top up employee wages above the 80% total and GBP 2,500 cap for the hours not worked at their own expense if they wish.

Short-time work has been a well established crisis measure for a long time and was last used to a great extent during the 2008/09 financial crisis, alleviating the economic downturn to quite some extent.

In order to prevent dismissals and to protect businesses and employees from negative economic and social impacts of COVID-19, social partners (Chamber of Labour, Trade Unions, Economic Chamber) negotiated the current scheme.\r\rWorking hours of employees can be reduced up to zero hours keeping full / almost full pay. The employer only pays for the actual working time.\r\rReduced working hours: The reduced standard working hours must be on average between 10% and 90% of the collectively agreed working hours (this applies to (pre-short-time work) full-time workers, an aliquot reduction applies to employees who were on part-time before short-time work). A new aspect of this is that it may temporarily also be set at zero. Thus, for instance, in the context of a short-time working period of six weeks, it may be set at 0% for five weeks (i.e. no work will take place, and for one week at 60%). Another important point to note is that, in some business sectors, the agreement on short-time work may also include overtime.\r\rFor persons with a disability (registered disabled persons according to the Act on the Employment of People with Disabilities (BEinstG), a special job security subsidy applies when making use of the PES' short-time work model. The employers are reimbursed for the remaining wage costs after deduction of the PES short-time work subsidy for the duration of the short-time work. Prerequisites are an application for short-time work (even retroactive) by 30 June 2020 and the existence of a degree of disability of at least 50% (notice of assessment), as well as no existing wage subsidies for the disabled person concerned.", "descriptionUseOfMeasure": "As of 14 April 2020, short-time work applications have been made for the jobs of 608,607 people, in mid-May, over 1.3 million people were on short-time work.\r\rThe funds have been increased several times, from originally \u20ac3 billion to currently (mid-June) \u20ac12 billion in mid-May.\r\rThe Federal Ministry for Labour, Family and Youth maintains a regularly updated [webpage on labour market statistics](https://www.bmafj.gv.at/Services/News/Aktuelle-Arbeitsmarktzahlen.html), which keeps track of the number of people currently in short-time work.

Latest data from 5 October 2021 show that 67,773 persons are currently registered for short-time work.

The Chamber of Commerce of the Czech Republic (Hospod\u00e1\u0159sk\u00e1 komora \u010cesk\u00e9 republiky) conducted a survey among its members in April 2020, who highlighted the tangle of bureaucracy and lack of clarity in the COVID I and COVID II.

Also the capacity of Czech-Moravian Guarantee and Development Bank (\u010ceskomoravsk\u00e1 z\u00e1ru\u010dn\u00ed a rozvojov\u00e1 banka, \u010cMZRB), when approving the loans, was very low and the process too long.\r\rIn February 2022, the [Ministry of Regional Development of the Czech Republic](http://www.mmr.cz) published an evaluation Analysis of the ESIF measures responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluation of the ESFI. This analysis evaluates some of the COVID-19 antiepidemic measures, namely COVID I interest-free state loan, COVID II state guarantee programme, COVID III state guarantee programme, COVID Prague and Technology-COVID call within OPPIK. \r\rThis evaluation shows that the positive impact of the above mentioned antiepidemic measures cannot be yet statistically confirmed. The moratorium on debts and mortgages declared in the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic played a major role regarding the survival rate. However, in combination with the above mentioned measures, it has \rlikely only delayed the insolvency of a number of beneficiaries. In general, no statistically significant difference in the trends of employment rates was observed when comparing supported and unsupported enterprises. \r\rEvaluation study also have proven that the support was not strongly focused on the economic sectors that were most affected by the pandemic (tourism, HORECA, accommodation services). In general, above mentioned measures applied were appropriate, however, should have been more targeted on most affected sectors and regions.

Expenditure on the basis of these assumptions is expected to be around \u20ac319.2 million in 2020.\r\rIn April and May 2020, the Social Insurance Agency paid 230,262 benefits of \"pandemic nursing\" in the amount of \u20ac62,218,391 (a year ago in 2019 it was only 29,608 benefits in the amount of \u20ac3,259,123).\r\rThe pandemic nursing benefit was drawn from April to August 2020, mostly in May and June.

The number of recipients and expenses will decrease in the future as schools and preschools start operating again from 2 September 2020.

The average amount of pandemic nursing allowance was \u20ac276.97 per month and the agency spent \u20ac167.5 million on these benefits.\r\rThe number of \"nursing care\" benefits has declined since April 2021.

Statistics Portugal highlights that 1.04 million people used information and communication technologies to be able to work from home, a share of 21.9% of the total employed population and 94.8% of those who worked always or almost always at home in the reference period.\r\rIn the third quarter of 2020, the share of the employed population who has worked remotely \rdecreased to 14.2% of the employed population; and in the fourth quarter of 2020 decreased to 12.3% of the employed population (597,500 people).

This study aimed at evaluating the adaptation of organizational models in central public administration during the COVID-19 pandemic, namely in relation to telework. The main objectives referred to mapping the profiles of workers in telework, the diversity of problems identified in its implementation, the reasons limiting the extension of this regime to more workers; and identifying the challenges of management and adaptation to new forms and rhythms of work, articulation with colleagues and supervisors, measuring the impact at the management level, of the communication and strategy of public organizations. The study was based on interviews with the 29 top managers of central administration services \u2013 General Directorates, General Secretariats and General Inspections (Direct Administration) and Public Institutes (Indirect Administration) \u2013 conducted online, between June and September 2020; and on a survey applied online between 5 and 22 January 2021, having obtained 4,445 responses (in a universe of 42,810 workers).\r\rAmong the main findings it is relevant to mention:\r\r* The interviews revealed that \u201ccommunication\u201d was the main challenge referred by 70% of the Direct Administration top level managers and by 67% of Indirect Administration. Challenges were also felt by top level management in relation to coordination of teams (by 35% of the Direct and 44% of the Indirect), of equipment (by 30% of the Direct and 44% of the Indirect), of processes (by 20% of Direct and 22% of Indirect), and of personal and emotional issues (by 20% of Direct and 11% of Indirect). Also noteworthy is the fact that 22 of the 29 managers interviewed explained that the return to in-office work, since June 2020, was done essentially, through rotation of workers between in-office work and telework or occasional or regular combination of the two, therefore in practice pointing to hybrid solutions.\r* The survey revealed that between 5 and 22 January 2021 \u2013 a period coincidental with the state of emergency and the highest crisis of COVID-19 pandemic in Portugal \u2013 around 27.2% of the workers of the sample worked in-office; 17.3% worked exclusively in telework; 17.4% worked only very occasionally in-office; 22.0% worked with some regularity in office; and around 14.3% rotate between in-office work and teleworking.\r* Considering a set of potential advantages (multiple answer) arising from teleworking, 72% of respondents identifies the \u201ctime saving by avoiding travel\u201d as the main advantage. Conversely, the \"contribution to the reduction of pollution due to the decrease in travel\" is, within the positive aspects, the least valued by respondents. Most relevant positive points arising from telework: time saved by avoiding travel (72%); positive effect on the reconciliation of professional, family and personal life (54%); contributes to rethinking the organizational models of the work in Public Administration (53%); greater freedom in managing and executing tasks (45%); savings on expenses arising from travel (43%); positive effect in reducing pollution due to reducing displacements (32%).", "descriptionInvolvementOfSocialPartners": "Trade union and employer confederations were consulted at the Standing Committee for Social

The main conclusions were that KredEx measures have mostly been used by companies indeed in need of the support, while the Rural Development Fund's support was mainly used by companies whose activity was less affected by the crisis compared to those who did not receive the support. This was further specified in June 2021, when the Audit Office published an audit on Rural Development Fund's procedures for loan applications, especially on the equal treatment and transparency of the allocation of the crisis support. The main conclusion of the audit was that the actual impact of COVID-19 was not taken into account sufficiently enough when assessing the applications and not enough information was collected for sufficient assessment when making decisions. Thus, as the measure was intended for crisis support and while indeed some companies really needed the support, there is a risk that as a whole the support measure did not at the end solve the crisis and decreased the state's ability to help those in need in the future.", "descriptionInvolvementOfSocialPartners": "In addition to the sectoral business association, the Estonian Employers Confederation was consulted during the design of the measure.

This decrease is attributed to the end of the lockdown and to the nationwide ease of restrictions in the second quarter of 2021.

The new eligible sectors, in addition to those previously identified, are: agriculture, forestry, and fishing - only crop and livestock production, hunting and related service industries and fishing, and other service industries - repair of computers and personal and household goods and other personal service industries. The subsidy can be requested for all employees taken on before 30 September 2020. The subsidy amount is determined by the decline in revenue. This must be a decline of at least 60% to qualify for the maximum subsidy of HRK 4,000 (\u20ac533) per employee.

The Trade Unions believing that the preservation of jobs with public funds should be conditional on preserving all workers, not just those the employer wants to keep. According to their opinion, this is not an absolute ban on dismissal and reduction of the number of employees, because the expiry of a fixed-term contract, dismissal caused by the employee's behavior, extraordinary dismissal, personal dismissal, dismissal of the employee to the employer and retirement are fully allowed, but economic cancellation should not be allowed.", "modId": "5" }, { "recordId": "466", "updates::d_date": "12/04/2020", "updates::description": "On 4 December 2020, the Employment Service published amended conditions for granting support for the preservation of jobs of employers whose business was disrupted due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and for employers covered by decisions of the Civil Protection Headquarters.

The management of the company announced that it intends to return the HRK 12.3 million (\u20ac1.63 million) in Croatian coronavirus state aid that was used to secure the payment of employee salaries in 2020 year, with an explanation that last year ended with a slightly better result than initially expected. Ad Plastik is holding a general meeting of its shareholders at which one of the points will be the payment of dividends, in which the reason for the return of Croatian coronavirus state aid should also be sought. Namely, one of the conditions for using the aforementioned economic measure is the obligation that the company will not pay out from its operating profit. This condition was mentioned a few months after the virus arrived in Croatia and was a reason as to why many companies quickly changed their minds and decided to return Croatian coronavirus state aid back to the government. Although, as it now seems, the main trigger for the return of the aid was nevertheless the fact that the list of all aid recipients would be made public. According to the data we received from the Croatian Employment Service (CES), so far, 20,850 Croatian enterprises/employers have returned their Croatian coronavirus state aid, and the total amount that sat on that account after its return now stands at almost HRK 206 million (\u20ac27.4 million). The most common reasons for the refund of these benefits, as they have stated from the CES, was the withdrawal of support from their employer, and improperly paid support for sick workers at the expense of the Croatian Health Insurance Institute in the month for which support was received, failure to meet income criteria or other criteria, the non-payment of wages to workers, wrong payments due to multiple requests and so on. Therefore, the CES would not list the payment of profits as the predominant reason for the decision to return the support by the employer.

After the expiration of the first six months for employers who have already used the measure, and for the duration of special circumstances caused by the COVID-19, the measure provides full cover of the cost of extended pension insurance.", "modId": "6" }, { "recordId": "2957", "updates::d_date": "11/23/2024", "updates::description": "The measure \"Permanent Seasonal Worker\" exempted employers from the costs of the first three months of contributions for workers' pension insurance and 50% of these costs for another three months while the worker was registered with the Croatian Employment Service (CES). During this time, the worker received financial assistance equivalent to unemployment benefits from the CES. The condition was that they had worked continuously for at least six months with the same employer and had committed to work for the same employer for at least one more season. The measure aims to provide financial support to seasonal workers when they are not working, ensuring the necessary workforce for employers in sectors experiencing periods of reduced work volume due to the seasonal nature of their business. However, in the future, employers will still be able to use the Permanent Seasonal Worker measure, but only for those workers who were previously registered as such, with the proviso that \"those who employ more than 10 employees must prove that they have concluded permanent employment contracts for a portion of the persons who worked for that employer for a fixed period to perform seasonal work in the past 12 months from the date of submission.\" A permanent seasonal worker employed for an indefinite period can agree with the employer that their employment relationship will be suspended between two seasons. During this time, the employer will deregister them from insurance, and the worker can be employed by another employer during that period. Another option for the permanent seasonal worker is to agree with the employer not to deregister them from insurance, but then the employer will pay all contributions for the worker at the lowest amount during the period between the two seasons. This monthly cost is \u20ac216.37, which is higher than the cost incurred when the employer pays only pension contributions. The employer is not eligible for state support for paying contributions. Between two seasons, the worker is not entitled to a salary, and given that they are registered under the employment relationship during that period, they cannot receive assistance from the Croatian Employment Service. It follows that permanent seasonal workers employed for an indefinite period are more expensive for employers if these employers pay contributions in the period between two seasons. The worker is also disadvantaged compared to having a fixed-term permanent seasonal worker contract. Unfortunately, the desirable measure of employing permanent seasonal workers for an indefinite period is not adequately accompanied by social legislation and measures from the Croatian Employment Service.", "modId": "1" } ], "regions": [], "Context": [ { "recordId": "1", "Context::Context": "COVID-19", "modId": "6" } ] }, "recordId": "257", "modId": "141", "portalDataInfo": [ { "portalObjectName": "sources", "database": "EUPolicyWatch", "table": "sources", "foundCount": 6, "returnedCount": 6 }, { "portalObjectName": "actors", "database": "EUPolicyWatch", "table": "actors", "foundCount": 2, "returnedCount": 2 }, { "database": "EUPolicyWatch", "table": "targetGroups", "foundCount": 1, "returnedCount": 1 }, { "database": "EUPolicyWatch", "table": "funding", "foundCount": 1, "returnedCount": 1 }, { "portalObjectName": "occupations", "database": "EUPolicyWatch", "table": "occupations", "foundCount": 0, "returnedCount": 0 }, { "database": "EUPolicyWatch", "table": "sectors", "foundCount": 0, "returnedCount": 0 }, { "portalObjectName": "updates", "database": "EUPolicyWatch", "table": "updates", "foundCount": 3, "returnedCount": 3 }, { "database": "EUPolicyWatch", "table": "regions", "foundCount": 0, "returnedCount": 0 }, { "database": "EUPolicyWatch", "table": "Context", "foundCount": 1, "returnedCount": 1 } ] }, { "fieldData": { "title": "Teleworking and working from home in the public and broader public sector", "title_nationalLanguage": "\u03a4\u03b7\u03bb\u03b5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b1\u03c3\u03af\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b1\u03c3\u03af\u03b1 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03bf \u03c3\u03c0\u03af\u03c4\u03b9 \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf \u03b4\u03b7\u03bc\u03cc\u03c3\u03b9\u03bf \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b5\u03c5\u03c1\u03cd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c1\u03bf \u03b4\u03b7\u03bc\u03cc\u03c3\u03b9\u03bf \u03c4\u03bf\u03bc\u03ad\u03b1", "d_startDate": "03/17/2020", "d_endDate": "04/30/2020", "calc_country": "Cyprus", "calc_minorCategory": "Protection of workers, adaptation of workplace", "calc_subMinorCategory": "Teleworking arrangements, remote working", "calc_identifier": "CY-2020-12/367", "dateType": "Temporary", "calc_creationDay": "04/08/2020", "calc_lastUpdate": "05/08/2020", "descriptionBackgroundInfo": "Teleworking arrangements and/or work from home arrangements are among the measures taken by the Republic of Cyprus to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The employer should do nothing for the taxi sector, the audiovisual sector, the hotel industry, entertainment companies, the socio-cultural sector, the tourist attractions sector. These are automatically recognised. \r3. For a number of sectors, the employer must file a declaration with the national unemployment offices and it only applies to certain activities (i.e. not automatically to all employees of the joint committee). \r4.

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, the government adopted a \u2018temporary lay-off scheme\u2019 and reimbursement of wage compensations to workers who cannot work due to force majeure. The measure addresses laid-off workers for whom company temporary fails to provide work and workers who cannot work due to force majeure:\r\r* workers in quarantine, who cannot work from home; \r* workers who look after children during the closure of schools and kindergartens; \r* workers who cannot come to work on the grounds of the suspension of public transport or ban on the border crossing.", "descriptionContentOfMeasure": "According to the Employment Relationship Act, when a company temporarily fails to provide work for business reasons (in the event of a temporary layoff), the worker is entitled to wage compensation in the amount of 80% of the wage basis. The wage basis is determined at the worker\u2019s average monthly wage for full-time work during the past three months. On the other hand, if a worker cannot carry out his work due to force majeure, he is entitled to half of the payment he would have received if he was working, but not less than 70% of the minimum wage. The temporary laid-off worker is obliged to respond to the employer\u2019s invitation in a manner and under the conditions laid down in the lay-off letter (Employment Relationship Act, Articles 137, 138).\r\rThe measure being examined, attempting to cushion the economic effects of the COVID-19 epidemic, grants the employers with 80% reimbursement of the sums payed to provide the economic treatment mentioned above to workers (in case of temporary lay-off as well as force majeure). This reimbursement is funded with the state budget. Reimbursement is limited to the average monthly salary in 2019 and cannot be lower than the minimum wage (it is thus higher than statutory determined compensations).\r\rThe maximum length of receiving compensation is from 13 March to 31 May. To be eligible for the reimbursements, a company had to demonstrate a 20% lower income in the first half of 2020 and 50% lower income in the second half of 2020, compared to 2019.", "descriptionUseOfMeasure": "Companies that are not eligible are:\r\r* State institutions.\r* Financial and insurance companies with more than 10 employees. \r* Companies having outstanding debt with the Financial Administration.\r* Foreign or international organisations (not including humanitarian and disability organisations).\r\rThe Employment Service of Slovenia administers employers\u2019 requests for compensations. Up to 31 May, the Employment Service received requests for wage compensation for 275,317 employees and additional 54,168 since 1 June.\r\rAccording to the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities data, employers submitted 46,009 applications for wage reimbursement of 275,317 employees under the first and second emergency laws (adopted in the period from 13 March to 31 May 2020). Under the third emergency law (adopted in June 2020), employers submitted 10,930 applications for 64,667 employees. Under the fourth emergency law, there were 6,787 applications for almost 24,200 employees by 20 July 2020. Until September 2020, the government paid off \u20ac281 million to employers for temporary layoff scheme.\r\rUnlike the short-time scheme, the temporary layoff scheme this was very well accepted by employers who demanded the prolongation of this measure. It is commonly believed that registered unemployment would be much higher without the temporary layoff scheme. The registered unemployment was 9.2 per cent in July 2020, while it was 7.4% at the same time in 2019 (source: Employment Service of Slovenia).\r\rThe temporary layoff scheme expired at the end of June 2021. Employment Service of Slovenia paid \u20ac539 million for the temporary layoff scheme and reimbursement of related wage until 27 May 2021. In that period, 31,600 employers received reimbursements for 214,225 employees. The minister of labour expects a slight rise in unemployment after the expiry of the measure. Employment trend shows the positive impact of emergency measures. Apart from the peak unemployment rates in May 2020 and February 2021, the unemployment trend moved normally.

An on-line survey of the first association showed that 84% of film directors and screenwriters are not eligible, while the other association came up with the figure of one-quarter of respondents.

Encouraging the use of paid leave also through collective agreements.\r3. The suspension of the activities of company departments not indispensable for production.\r4.

This is a high level, but below the peaks seen in 2020.\rFrom the second half of 2021 onwards, the gradual lifting of the health restrictions and the reduction in the burden on the public authorities will lead to a gradual reduction in the use of partial activity, which will affect only 500,000 employees in July 2021 and 135,000 in June 2022.

The agreement reached between the two Chambers on 02 June, which has yet to be formally adopted, empowers the Government to further adapt the short time working scheme to take account of the needs of a gradual recovery and to create a special provision for companies permanently affected by the crisis although not likely to fail.\r\rNew short time working provision based on collective bargaining and \u2018quid pro quos\u2019. A new mechanism that provides long-term support for companies in return for a set of commitments, particularly in terms of maintaining employment, is thus being planned. Both the level of compensation for employees whose activity is reduced and the level of State reimbursement have yet to be established by decree, but the idea is to increase the State element if the company, that has had to make recourse short time working to persevere through the crisis, negotiates or enters into a collective sector agreement, which not only defines the terms of the short time working, but also provides for company commitment in return, and in particular in terms of maintaining employment.

The main changes are the following:\r\r* An Ordinance of 24 June provides that the rate of partial activity allowances will be set by decree and may be increased for sectors particularly affected by the health crisis. These new rates will be applicable as of 1 June 2020 and until a date that the decree is expected to set at 30 September 2020. The increased rate applies in sectors relating to tourism, hotels, restaurants, sports, culture, air transport and events. Sectors whose activity depends on the above and which are experiencing a very sharp drop in turnover will also benefit. The same will apply to employers whose main activity involves receiving the public and is interrupted due to the epidemic. A decree allow for basic coverage of 85% of the compensation paid and an increased coverage covering these compensation payments in full.\r* The terms and conditions for implementing the partial activity system are secured and simplified by a decree of 26 June 2020. This decree allows companies with at least 50 establishments to submit a single request for partial activity (for several employees). It also confirms that prior consultation of the Social and Economic Committee (CSE) in the event of recourse to the system is only required for companies with at least 50 employees.\r* Partial activity for childcare without a school certificate. Since June 2, 2020, parents looking after a child under 16 years of age can only maintain or partially activate their childcare activities upon presentation of a certificate from the childcare establishment, according to the Ministry of Labour. It is therefore no longer sufficient for the employee, as has been the case since 1 May, to send his or her employer a certificate on honour that his or her child cannot attend school. The Ministry of Labour specifies that this certificate from the establishment will be likely to be requested in the event of an administrative control.\r* A new short-time working scheme will start on 1 October 2020 and provides for an obligation to remain in employment for the duration of the partial activity. The scheme will last three months, renewable, and may not exceed six months (maximum duration of the current scheme). The employees concerned will receive 100% of their net salary at the level of the minimum wage (Smic) at 72% for 1.3 Smic (compared to 84% since the crisis). For high salaries, a ceiling is set at 60% of 4.5 SMIC. Already reduced on 1 June, the State and Un\u00e9dic allowance will amount to 60% of the compensation paid to employees, with a floor set at 90% of the minimum wage. As a reminder, the State's contribution was 100% of the allowance until 4.5 Smic at the end of March, before being reduced to 85% on 1 June.\r* A second partial activity scheme came into force on 1 July (see FR-2020-27/1030). Known as \"long-term\", it concerns companies facing a lasting decline in their activity, such as the aeronautics industry, in order to guarantee a high level of protection. It is for a renewable period of six months and can be mobilised for a maximum of two years, with 100% of the net salary being maintained for employees at the minimum wage and up to 84% for salaries above 1.15 minimum wage, with a ceiling of 70% above 4.5 minimum wage.

The implementation of telework in this context does not require any particular formalism.\r\rIn a circular, the ministry of Labour estimate the employee must receive an allowance intended to reimburse the employee for the costs arising from telework: 'In the context of the current health crisis \u2013 since telework is carried out, in the majority of cases, over the entire actual working time and is made necessary to allow the continuity of the company's activity, to guarantee the protection of employees and for reasons of public health \u2013 it should be considered that the employer is obliged to pay his employee a telework allowance, intended to reimburse the employee for the costs arising from telework'. Indeed, the employer has an obligation to bear the professional expenses. This obligation is provided for without restriction by the case-law, which is of general application and must cover teleworkers.\r\r'However, adds the ministry of Labour, in view of the difficulty of identifying and circumscribing the expenses relating to the professional activity and those relating to personal life, it is in the employer's interest to favour a lump sum which will simplify its management'.\r\rIf the allowance paid by the employer is a lump sum, it will then be deemed to be used in accordance with its purpose and will be exempt from social security contributions up to an overall limit of \u20ac10/month for an employee who teleworks one day per week.

As of 31 August, 38% of employees work in an organisation where teleworking is not available (as on 31 July).

In this case, the employer must respect a period of notice of at least 1 clear day (as against 1 month in normal times). This provision covers both acquired leave and leave in the process of being acquired (i.e. it may be taken even before the start of the leave period).\r* Authorise the employer to unilaterally modify the dates of taking paid leave up to a limit of 6 days. This provision relates to paid leave already taken by the employee. The employer must respect a notice period of at least 1 clear day (compared to one month in normal times). In the absence of a collective agreement, the law already allows the employer to do so without observing the one month's notice period, in exceptional circumstances as is currently the case.\r* Authorise the employer to impose the splitting of the main leave when it exceeds 12 days, without the employee's agreement.\r\r**Rest days related to working time reduction**\rApart from the derogations from the rules on paid leave set out above, which imply a collective agreement, the employer may impose (without the need for a collective agreement) or modify the taking of the other rest days (provided for in a collective agreement on the reduction of working time, provided for in an agreement on the organisation of working time or provided for in a lump-sum-day agreement which exists for employees whose actual working time cannot be determined). In addition, the employer may impose the taking of rest days placed in a time-saving account.\r\rThe Ordinance provides for two limits:\r\r1. The employer must give the employee one day's notice.\r2. Derogations may concern a maximum of 10 rest days by 31 December 2020.\r\rThe employer, additionally, may set the dates of leave without taking into account the simultaneous leave entitlements of spouses employed in the same company. The employer may dissociate their leaves if the presence of only one of the two spouses is indispensable to the company, or if one of them has already exhausted his or her paid leave (normally the Labour Code provides that spouses or partners who are employees of the same company are entitled to simultaneous leave).\r\r** Sunday rest*\rThe ordinance allows the employer (without collective agreement) to derogate to the Sunday rest. He is allowed to ask employees to work on Sunday. These derogations do not apply to all undertakings, however.

It can be carried out electronically, in front of the labour offices or through a licensed postal operator.\r\rThe programme focuses more on the labour market and maintaining employment than on directly supporting business. In this sense, this measure has economic and social implications. \r\rThree waves of the programme have been announced by now:\r\r1. From 13 March 2020 until 30 June 2020.\r2.

Employers will be able to establish part-time work for the whole enterprise or units and receive compensation in proportion to the reduced working hours.", "descriptionUseOfMeasure": "The measure was implemented for 28 months (10 months in 2020, 12 months in 2021 and 6 months in 2022), pursuant to Decree No 55 of 30 March 2020 laying down the conditions and procedures for the payment of compensation to employers to maintain the employment of employees during the state of emergency. The duration of the programme has been extended several times, and P.M. No. 151 of 2020 has been amended seven times.\r\rMore than 80% of employees and most employers can benefit from the measures in the country. Until mid-April 2020, over 800 companies have benefited from the measure.\r\rAccording to the Employment Agency, the measure known as _'60/40'_ covers 5.4% of the country's workforce. In addition, the measure contributed to keeping unemployment at just over 8% in June. Regionally, the most favourable effect was in the districts of Gabrovo and the capital Sofia, and the weakest - in Vidin and Sofia region.\r\rAs of 30 June 2020, 10,000 employers' applications for a total of 177,000 employees have been approved and submitted for payment. The NSSI data on the compensations paid under measure 60/40 shows that the average amount of assistance per employee varies, in March it was BGN 308 (\u20ac154), in April it increased to BGN 515 (\u20ac255) and it dropped again to an average of BGN 400 (\u20ac200) in May 2020.\r\rAccording to estimations of the Bulgarian Prime Minister, during the first two waves of the programme, the measure has helped 300,000 workers to retain employment.\r\rIn September 2020, the Solidarity for Bulgaria Association and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation presented a report that analyses the effectiveness of the current support measure. In the report the researchers argue that there is a considerable delay of payments for many applicants, which worsens the economic climate as employers are left out without necessary resources for months. Furthermore, they criticise the programme's framework for being dependent entirely on employers' decision to apply for the subsidy or not, which in some cases might put workers in unfavourable positions. In addition, the report states that around BGN 330,000 (\u20ac165,000) of the paid compensations were returned and there is a missing explanation as to why. Subsequently, the involved associations demand amendments in the scope of the programme which should include:\r\r* more initiation rights for the workers;\r* easier and time efficient application, processing and payment protocol;\r* transparent data for rejected and returned applications and payments;\r* subsidies of up to 100% of the wages for employees, earning less than BGN 800 (\u20ac400).\r\rBefore Christmas, the government announced that the scheme will continue to operate until September 2021. For the measure 60/40 next year, BGN 600 million are planned, which will reach the month of September.\r\rSo far, BGN 627 million have been paid under this measure, and according to the Minister of Social Affairs, between 250,000 and 300,000 jobs have been preserved with it. However, a significant part of the resource remained unspent - in the spring because of it the budget of the Unemployment Fund of the National Social Security Institute was updated by BGN 1 billion.\r\rAccording to data presented at the end of September 2021, the state-owned companies are classified as being most benefited under the measure. Up until the middle of September 2021 the total amount of compensations paid equal BGN 1.5 billion. There are 13,307 companies that have received funds since the release of the measure in 2020. The average compensation per employee is BGN 575 and the average number of employees compensated per company reaches 21.\r\rThe highest overall compensation amounting BGN 45.5 million is paid to \u201cTroyanovo-North Mine\u201d which is part of the state-owned company \u201cMini Maritsa Iztok EAD\u201d. Other state-owned companies are rated among the top five beneficiaries. These are \u201cTroyanovo- 1 Mine\u201d (BGN 38.4 million), Bulgarian Posts (BGN 32.6 million) and \u201cTroyanovo-3 Mine\u201d (BGN 29 million). Both \u201cTroyanovo- 1 Mine\u201d and \u201cTroyanovo-3 Mine\u201d are part of the state-owned company \u201cMini Maritsa Iztok EAD\u201d. The company \u201cARSENAL JSCompany\u201d is compensated with BGN 30 million.\r\rFrom 15 April 2020 to 25 August 2022, the state aid of 242 payments (BGN 1,995,388.2) to 13,677 employers (support for at least one month) supported 341,877 workers and employees according to the summary data of the National Insurance Institute (NOI).\r\rAccording to the annual report of Social Assistance Agency for 2022 a total of 4,038 employers for more than 100,000 employees have been approved to receive 60% of the insurance income of their employees.", "descriptionInvolvementOfSocialPartners": "The social partners were active in drafting the measure during negotiations.

companies (see separate case). Loans were initially due to be worth up to GBP1.2m to support SMEs. On 17 March, this was increased to GPB5 million. The government will provide lenders with a guarantee of 80% on each loan. The Government has also said the first 12 months of the loan would be offered interest free, with Government meeting the cost of those interest payments. Initially, the interest free period was due to last 6 months.\u00a0 The scheme went live on 23 March 2020.\r\rThe background regulation is the Coronavirus Act 2020, emergency legislation which received Royal Assent on the 25 March after having been fast-tracked through Parliament in just four days.", "descriptionContentOfMeasure": "This temporary\u00a0scheme aims to allow\u00a0small and medium\u00a0businesses across the UK with an annual turnover of up to GBP 45 million, which\u00a0are experiencing lost or deferred revenues to access\u00a0loans, overdrafts, invoice finance and asset finance of up to GBP 5 million for up to 6 years. The government will also make a Business Interruption Payment to cover the first 12 months of interest payments and any lender-levied fees. This means smaller businesses will benefit from no upfront costs and lower initial repayments. The government will provide lenders with a guarantee of 80% on each loan (subject to pre-lender cap on claims) to give lenders further confidence in continuing to provide finance to SMEs. The scheme is delivered through commercial lenders, backed by the government-owned British Business Bank.\u00a0There are 40 accredited lenders able to offer the scheme, including all the major banks, as well as\u00a0challenger banks, asset-based lenders and smaller specialist local lenders.\u00a0 \r\rA business is eligible if:\r\r* it is based in the UK\r* has an annual turnover of up to GBP 45 million\r* has a borrowing proposal which the lender would consider viable, if not for the coronavirus pandemic. \r\rTo access the scheme, businesses should approach their own provider \u2013 ideally via the lender\u2019s website. They may also consider approaching other lenders if they are unable to access the finance they need.\u00a0Decision-making on eligibility for CBILS is fully delegated to the accredited CBILS lenders. On 25 March, the Chancellor, Governor of the Bank of England, and CEO of the Financial Conduct Authority together wrote to Britain\u2019s banking sector with a warning not to allow fundamentally viable companies to collapse because of the coronavirus crisis.\r\rFinance terms are up to six years for term loans and asset finance facilities. For overdrafts and invoice finance facilities, terms will be up to three years.\u00a0The borrower always remains 100% liable for the debt.\r\rAt the discretion of the lender, the scheme may be used for unsecured lending for facilities of GBP 250,000 and under. Initially, the eligibility criteria stated that for facilities above GBP 250,000, the lender must establish a lack or absence of security prior to businesses using CBILS. It also stated that if the lender could offer finance on normal commercial terms without the need to make use of the scheme, they should do so. \r\rHowever, these\u00a0were changed as the scheme progressed. Thus, on the 2 April 2020, the\u00a0Government made changes to the scheme, namely:\r\r* No personal guarantees for facilities under GBP 250k: Personal guarantees of any form cannot be taken under the scheme for any facilities below GBP 250k.\r* Personal guarantees for facilities above GBP 250k: Personal guarantees may still be required, at a lender\u2019s discretion, but recoveries under these are capped at a maximum of 20% of the outstanding balance of the CBILS facility after the proceeds of business assets have been applied.

If short-time work is granted, employees will receive 60% of their net income (67% if having children) for all hours not worked. The short-time working allowance is paid by the local employment agency for a maximum of 12 months.

The new rules apply to dependent employees and will also be made available to temporary agency workers.", "descriptionUseOfMeasure": "First projections regarding the usage of the measure are available. The Federal Employment Agency estimates that in March 2020 over 322,000 establishments ran short-time work affecting nearly 2.5 million workers.

This compares to nearly 134,000 short-time workers in March 2023. Nevertheless, the numbers are significantly lower than in the previous years with approximately 800,000 affected workers in 2022 and 3.36 million in 2021.\r\r**Information from 2 November 2023.**\r\rThe Federal Employment Agency announced at the beginning of 2023 that the number of people affected by short-time work was significantly lower in 2022 compared to the previous two years.

The number of disconnections in the gas sector has also decreased massively compared to the previous year.\r\rData provided by E-Control are based on a questionnaire to energy providers, which also asked about disconnections that were not carried out due to the COVID-19-agreement. Compared to the disconnections actually carried out in the previous year, there was a significant increase. Overall, this indicates that there would have been significantly more disconnections than in 2019 (electricity: 10,906 disconnections not carried out from April to June 2020, gas: 3,527 disconnections not carried out from April to June 2020).\r\rAccording to E-Control's figures for 2020, in total, there have been comparatively few disconnections in Austria despite many reminders and warnings that were sent out: for electricity, there were 15,449 disconnections after 276,877 final reminders, and for gas 2,975 after 76,794 reminders (Kurier, 2021).\r\rFairly recent data provided by E-Control in mid-February 2022 show that electricity shutdowns due to a breach of contractual obligations still lie significantly below the long-term average. In December 2021, 919 disconnections due to breach of contractual obligations were reported, significantly fewer than in November (1,574 disconnections, minus 42% compared to the previous month). The number of contract terminations carried out by suppliers also fell significantly compared to the previous month to 1,573 contract terminations (November: 2,290, minus 31% month-on-month).\r\rA similar development was evident concerning gas provision. Also here, shutdowns due to a breach of contractual obligations are below the long-term average.

From the 16 April 2020, regulations were passed so that\u00a0any person classed as extremely vulnerable and at very high risk of severe illness from coronavirus (COVID-19), and who have been advised to remain at home for at least 12 weeks will be entitled to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP). The process is known as shielding, and the regulations mean that people are deemed as incapable of work for the period in which they are shielding.\r\rThere are around 1.5 million \"extremely vulnerable\" persons in the UK, who were directed to shield for at least 12 weeks. However, 'shielding' is to end on the 1 August, with those who have been shielding being able to return to work. Thus, those who are shielding will continue to be eligible for SSP until 31 July, but this ends on the 1st of August (UK Government, 2020).\r\rIf an individual cannot work as they are shielding due to coronavirus (COVID-19), then they will be entitled to receive SSP for every day that they are unable to work. They will be entitled to SSP from day one of sickness, in line with how SSP will be paid to those self-isolating, or absent, due to coronavirus. Individuals must, however, shield for a minimum of four days to be eligible for SSP payment from day one. Individuals must also meet the other eligibility requirements for SSP.\r\rThe changes have been made, as previously those individuals who were shielding were not entitled to SSP, and the amendments are intended as a safety net for individuals in cases where their employer opts not to furlough them under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) and does not have other suitable policies in place, e.g. allowing the individuals to work from home.\r\r\r2.

This will ensure that those providing healthcare service activity across the UK are legally protected for the work they are required to undertake as part of the COVID-19 response. This is in line with and will complement existing arrangements; \r* suspend the rule that currently prevents some NHS staff who return to work after retirement from working more than 16 hours per week, along with rules on abatements and drawn-down of NHS pensions that apply to certain retirees who return to work.

Only the part of salaries up to HUF 214,300 net (twice the minimum wage - \u20ac612 as of 15 Apr) per month receive the income supplement, earnings after that threshold are not subsidised.

Additional criteria for eligibility-the employer must agree to keep headcount level until the end of the year in order to be considered for the subsidy:\r\r* the shortened work contract may not drop below 4 hours per day of working time \r* employers must organise a training for the employee in 30% of the hours that have been cut from working time and pay wages for this time as well. \r\rApplications open on 16 April, 2020 The measure was financed from the ESF and co-financed from the state budget. ", "descriptionUseOfMeasure": "On 26 August 2020 the Ministry for Innovation and Technology (ITM) said that 226,000 employees had applied for the scheme and 198,000 workers were supported during the first wave of the pandemic. The total number of employed in Hungary was 4,023,600 in 2019. Data shows that around half of Hungary\u2019s workforce is employed in jobs with high or medium vulnerability to being lost due to COVID-19. The government calculated that on average a monthly HUF 64,500 per employee would be paid out, so the total cost for 3 months could be HUF 193.6 billion, but in fact, only HUF 32 billion (\u20ac88.9 million) was spent. The central statistics office (KSH) said that by October 2020 the number of employees working reduced hours fell to 123,000 from 260,000 at the end of June, at the peak. Some 76,000 had their working hours reduced by 50% or more by October.\r\rThe proportions of the types of companies where supported workers were employed were as follows:\r\r* 13.0% micro-enterprises\r* 24.8% small companies\r* 28.5% medium-sized companies\r* 33.8% large companies\r\rWith regard to sectors, the composition is the following:\r\r* Manufacturing: 50.2% (nearly 100,000 applications)\r* Trade and machinery: 16.0%, nearly 32,000 applications\r* Accommodation, hospitality: 9.2%, nearly 18,300 applications\r* Administrative activities and supporting services administration: 4.9% nearly 10,000 applications\r\rCritics noted that the employer has attractive alternatives: dismissal, unpaid leave, or even citing the COVID-19 situation as a vis maior to pay no wages for down-time. Critics also argue that the measure came much too late, 5 weeks after Hungary announced a 'state of danger' for the pandemic on 11 March 2020.\r\rOne analyst said that the measure is not enough to save ailing companies. The maximum amount of the subsidy is HUF 75,000 (\u20ac206) per month - this is the amount paid if working time is reduced by 4 hours a day \u2013 for a gross salary of HUF 322,000 (\u20ac883) or HUF 214,000 net (\u20ac587). In comparison, the average monthly gross salary was HUF 367,800 or \u20ac1,009 a month in 2019. By not firing an employee, the company saves only 2% on payroll costs, but since production declines and revenues fall, these savings disappear. The state, on the other hand, saves if employees are kept on, as the subsidy is less than the unemployment benefit it would have to pay if the employee was laid off. The state's share is about 30% at the average salary, the analysis published in [G7](G7.hu) said.\r\rA national poll by Z\u00e1vecz Research said that a tenth of employees suffered big income losses already, 8% were sent on unpaid leave, 3% were laid off. A quarter of employees polled feel they would be put on unpaid leave or fired in the coming months.

The prediction of the National Bank of Hungary on the uptake was about 30% of all individual clients at the time. In its inflation report of June 2020, the National Bank of Hungary said that the loan suspension for individuals managed to serve its purpose of replacing lost income so that consumption could stay level or flatten out. Out of a total of about HUF 1,100 billion (\u20ac3.274 million) in household loan repayments eligible for the deferral, HUF 600 billion worth of repayments were requested for deferral under the scheme. The bank estimates that 50-70% of the amount freed in this way was spent towards consumption by households (private individuals). In March 2021, some 1.6 million individuals benefitted from the payment freeze. This amounted to HUF 4.2 billion or 42% of all loans (54% of retail loans). Analyses warned that many people who opted for the payment freeze and continue to stay in the scheme have not been sufficiently informed that in some cases this could mean that their loan will be extended not only be the time of the freeze period but, by many more months, even years. This is due to the fact that monthly repayments cannot be raised, but interest rates do rise during the period. It is clear from banks' records that it is the lower educated and lower earners who have opted to use the loan deferral scheme in larger numbers.\rThe number of individuals opting for the scheme continued to drop, to 3% by August 2022 and even further later on, the minister of economic development said, adding that legislation would be passed to make sure that repayments remain level and the term of the loan will be extended when borrowers continue with their repayments", "descriptionInvolvementOfSocialPartners": "Unknown.", "socialPartner_form": "Direct consultation", "socialPartner_role": "Consulted", "calc_githubURL": "https://static.eurofound.europa.eu/covid19db/cases/HU-2020-12_650.html", "isOccupation": "No", "isSector": "No", "sector_privateOrPublic": "Only private sector", "calc_type": "Legislations or other statutory regulations", "statusOfRegulation": "Entirely new measure " }, "portalData": { "sources": [ { "recordId": "533", "sources::title": "Government decree 47/2020 (EN)", "sources::url": "", "sources::d_date": "03/18/2020", "modId": "4" }, { "recordId": "534", "sources::title": "Government Decree 62/2020 (EN", "sources::url": "", "sources::d_date": "03/24/2020", "modId": "3" }, { "recordId": "535", "sources::title": "Banking Association on the loan payment moratorium (press release)", "sources::url": "http://www.bankszovetseg.hu/hirek-aktualitasok.cshtml?lang=hun#a", "sources::d_date": "03/19/2020", "modId": "3" }, { "recordId": "536", "sources::title": "Banks: Hundreds of thousands continue loan payments despite freeze optio", "sources::url": "https://bank360.hu/blog/bankok-torlesztes-folytatas", "sources::d_date": "04/14/2020", "modId": "3" }, { "recordId": "1182", "sources::title": "MNB Inflation Report June 2020 pg22", "sources::url": "", "sources::d_date": "06/25/2020", "modId": "0" }, { "recordId": "1858", "sources::title": "Extension of loan moratorium until 30 June 2021", "sources::url": "https://jogaszvilag.hu/szakma/2021-junius-30-ig-meghosszabbitjak-a-hitelfelmondasi-tilalmat-es-a-hiteltorlesztesi-moratoriumot", "sources::d_date": "10/22/2020", "modId": "0" }, { "recordId": "1859", "sources::title": "Extended loan moratorium - all you need to know", "sources::url": "https://hvg.hu/gazdasag/20201021_Meghosszabbitott_hitelmoratorium_osszegyujtottuk_amit_eddig_tudni_lehe", "sources::d_date": "10/21/2020", "modId": "0" }, { "recordId": "3102", "sources::title": "Govt decree 637/2020 on general extension of loan payment freeze", "sources::url": "", "sources::d_date": "12/22/2020", "modId": "0" }, { "recordId": "3103", "sources::title": "Govt decree 107/2020", "sources::url": "", "sources::d_date": "01/01/2021", "modId": "0" }, { "recordId": "3104", "sources::title": "What can you expect with the moratorium extension?", "sources::url": "", "sources::d_date": "12/29/2020", "modId": "0" }, { "recordId": "3105", "sources::title": "\"Magic\" loan repayment freeze could mean trouble for tens of thousands", "sources::url": "https://merce.hu/2021/04/09/a-csodafegyverkent-beallitott-hitelmoratorium-tizezreket-sodorhat-adossagvalsagba", "sources::d_date": "04/09/2021", "modId": "0" }, { "recordId": "3898", "sources::title": "Govt decree 536/2021", "sources::url": "", "sources::d_date": "09/15/2021", "modId": "0" }, { "recordId": "3899", "sources::title": "Government decree 537/2021", "sources::url": "", "sources::d_date": "09/15/2021", "modId": "0" }, { "recordId": "8021", "sources::title": "Loan repayment freeze ends", "sources::url": "https://24.hu/fn/gazdasag/2022/12/13/fizetesi-moratorium-2023-megszunik", "sources::d_date": "12/13/2022", "modId": "0" } ], "actors": [ { "recordId": "1", "actors::name": "National government", "modId": "3" }, { "recordId": "5", "actors::name": "Company / Companies", "modId": "5" } ], "targetGroups": [], "funding": [ { "recordId": "1", "funding::name": "Companies", "modId": "0" } ], "occupations": [], "sectors": [ { "recordId": "93", "sectors::code": "K64", "sectors::name": "Financial service activities, except insurance and pension funding", "modId": "0" } ], "updates": [ { "recordId": "384", "updates::d_date": "10/20/2020", "updates::description": "An extension of the suspension (moratorium) on loan repayments until 30 June 2021:\r\rThe law targets certain special social groups (pensioners, parents and expectant parents, registered job-seekers and people in public works schemes) as well as people undergoing a \"personal bankruptcy procedure\".

other social or labor benefits with the performance of agricultural tasks, so that sufficient labor is achieved in the current situation by the population near the places of cultivation and the increase in disposable income at a time of special vulnerability, without undermining social protection and public health.\r\rTherefore, those who, upon the entry into force of the Royal Decree-Law, are in a situation of unemployment or cessation of activity and those workers whose contracts have been temporarily suspended may be beneficiaries of the temporary flexibility measures, such as consequence of the temporary closure of the activity, in accordance with the provisions of article 47 of the revised text of the Workers' Statute Law, except for workers affected by ERTEs due to COVID-19.\r\rThose migrants whose work permit ends in the period between the declaration of the State of Alarm and June 30, 2020, will also be able to access these jobs, whose extension will be

The amount of the special-purpose allowance is on average \u20ac476 per month and corresponds to 87% of the net national minimum wage, 71% of the net national median wage and 65% of the net national average wage.

Where council clearance processes are considered necessary, to avoid delays, they should be kept as light touch as possible within the governance arrangements of each authority.\r\rIt also states that council tax reductions should be applied as soon as possible from the beginning of the 2020-21 financial year and billing authorities should rebill council taxpayers as quickly as practical.

The number of hours taken into account is determined by converting a number of days or half-days into hours according to the following flat-rate periods:\r\r* a half-day not worked corresponds to 3.5 hours not worked;\r* a day not worked corresponds to 7 hours not worked;\r* a week not worked corresponds to 35 hours not worked.\r\rDays of paid leave and rest taken during the period of suspension or reduction of activity, as well as public holidays not worked which correspond to working days, are converted into hours according to the same procedures.\r\r2. Civil aviation flight crew\rIn the case of civil aviation flight crews, whose working hours are organised in the form of alternating days of activity and days of inactivity, the number of hours giving rise to the payment of the allowance and the partial activity allowance shall be determined on the basis of a number of eligible days of inactivity.

The agreement covers the following issues: telework, full time arranged activity, short-time work, \"fourteen\" and work stoppage. All the measures will apply for the period from 16 March to 30 April 2020, 'possibly with retroactive effect for this period, depending on the situations already in place'.", "descriptionContentOfMeasure": "The main subjects addressed by the agreement are:\r\r1. **Use of teleworking**\rOn a temporary basis and depending on the activity and the technological possibilities available, Daher has set up teleworking \"for a maximum number of group employees whenever possible\". It is up to the manager to regularly assess the workload and the ability of each individual to telework. The manager regularly informs the employee of his or her continued teleworking, or of the possibility of returning to the site \"for service requirements that cannot be carried out remotely\", or of being partially teleworking.\r\r2. **Adaptation of work organisation**\rIn some sectors of the company, the work organisation had to be adapted in order to comply with the instructions for taking up work at the post (cleaning, extended or moved lunch break, etc.). In the context of this \"adjusted full-time activity\", the company undertakes, despite a potential reduction in working hours, to maintain employee remuneration, including team bonuses, basket bonuses, meal vouchers or equivalent meal allowance in the absence of closed collective catering, etc. Moreover, \"as a completely exceptional measure and to take into account the commitment of the employees\", the hours not worked due to these adjusted schedules will not give rise to any recuperation.\r\r3. **Organisation of short-time working**\r\"In accordance with government directives known to date\", \"alternative systems\" to be used before the implementation of the partial activity system are identified in each company. As part of the agreement, and \"subject to the approval of the administration\", the equivalent of a seven-hour day taken as \"time bank/flexible/ reduced working hours (RTT)\" for non-management employees. For managers, one day of RTT (two for metalworking managers) is taken on a mandatory basis. In addition, the agreement continues, the setting of five working days of paid leave over the period of the agreement is imposed.\r\r4. **Remuneration during short-time working**\rIn an approach aimed at preserving purchasing power, Daher raises the remuneration of employees on short-time working to 95% of their net salary, \"instead of the 84% of net salary provided for by law\". In return for this matching contribution and in solidarity with employees whose activity will have been maintained, employees in partial employment will, before December 31, 2020, and as soon as the confinement period has ended, perform up to 25 hours of activity for non-managers and three days for managers, for each full month of partial unemployment. \r\r5. **The \"fourteen-week\" period**\rIn the event that, for safety or health reasons, the employee is sent home at the initiative of the employer or at the request of the client, it is up to the company to find a solution to temporarily offer him/her another assignment or to transfer him/her to another status.\rFor the employee who wishes to take up an assignment at his own initiative \"in a fortnight\" and whose situation is not recognised by the health insurance fund, the company \"shows adaptation and kindness\" to enable him to use as far as possible any other more advantageous arrangement in terms of maintaining remuneration (paid leave, RTT, time bank, flexible, etc.).\r\r6. **Work stoppage**\rIn the event of a work stoppage (illness, childcare, population at risk at COVID-19, maternity, etc.), the employee benefits from the compensation scheme provided for, via the daily social security benefits and the employer's supplement set according to the Daher Group.

The government subsidised up to 90% of the wage costs of staff for a period of up to three months. Within NOW 3.0, during the first three months the maximum level of support is 80% of wage costs, 70% in the second slot, and 60% in the third slot of three months.\r\rThis applies to workers on permanent contracts as well as flexible contracts (including zero hour \"nul uren\" contracts, or on call contracts \"oproep contracten\"). However, in return enterprises may not fire anyone (fixed and flexible employment contracts alike), for economic reasons during the period of time covered by the allowance.", "descriptionUseOfMeasure": "**Central Statistics Office data shows the following usage among companies:**\r\rNOW 1.0: 139,540 (\u20ac7.9 billion), NOW 2.0: 63,985 (\u20ac4.3 billion), NOW 3.1: 78,715 (\u20ac2.8 billion), NOW 3.2: 75,975 (\u20ac3.2 billion), NOW 3.3: 23,950 (\u20ac425 million) (CBS, 2021)\r\rFor NOW 1.0, for which data covers the period from 5 April to 5 July, 148,355 applications were received for financing, of which 139,399 were granted. This supported 2,653,041 workers at enterprises.\r\rFor NOW 2.0, for which data covers the period of 6 July to 4 September, 65,129 applications were received and 63,088 granted. This helped to support 1,332,904 workers at enterprises.\r\rA total of 81,000 employer\u2019s have applied for subsidies in the fourth quarter of 2020 (NOW 3.0).\r\r**The NOW (Temporary emergency scheme for job retention) measure in practice:**\r\rThere are nearly 140,000 companies that have used the NOW-1 measure. That is about 6.5% of all companies in the Netherlands. Especially companies with 10 to 50 employees make use of this measure. At sector level, the hospitality industry has by far made the most use of this measure. In this sector, 34% of the hospitality industry used the NOW-1 measure. Almost all of the hospitality companies with 10 or more employees made use of this measure (Bedrijvenbeleid in beeld, 2021).\r\rThere are approximately 64,000 companies that have benefited from the NOW-2 scheme. That is about 3% of all companies in the Netherlands. Especially companies with 10 to 50 employees use the NOW-2, as was already the case with the NOW-1. At sector level, the hospitality industry makes the most use of this by far, just as with the NOW-1. In this sector, more than 16% of the hospitality companies made use of the NOW-2 scheme (Bedrijvenbeleid in beeld, 2021). \r\rThere are approximately 78,000 companies that have used the NOW-3.1. That is about 4% of all companies in the Netherlands. Especially companies with 10 to 50 employees make use of this scheme, just as with the predecessors. The hospitality industry also makes the most use of this by far. In this sector, 28% of the catering companies used the NOW-3.1(Bedrijvenbeleid in beeld,2021).\r\rNOW 3.2: On reference date 31 May 2021: almost 76,000 companies; 3.5% of all companies in the Netherlands and comparable to the use of NOW 3.1. Especially companies with 10 to 50 employees. By sector, mainly catering: 1 in 4 catering companies, of which almost all catering establishments employ more than 250 people.\r\rNOW 3.3: Since 31 May 2021, the reference date for this monitoring, not all applications could be included yet. At that time there were almost 24,000 companies with a NOW 3.3. That is 1% of all companies in the Netherlands. It is also the catering companies that make the most use of this scheme.\r\r**Weakness of the measure:**\r\rThe UWV, which implements the NOW scheme, deals with possible manipulation of the turnover and the wage bill. The benefits agency also receives reports of identity fraud. In 2020, the subsidy was (temporarily) discontinued in eleven cases (Financieel Dagblad, 2021a).\r\rLast year, the Court of Audit warned that the design of the aid scheme could lead to errors and misuse. Without extensive checks, the UWV pays an advance of 80% based on estimated loss of turnover and only settles at a much later stage, based on definitive figures on turnover and wage bill. Companies then receive the remaining 10% of the subsidy, but if it turns out that the turnover was higher or the wage bill was lower than anticipated, they must return all or part of the money (Financieel Dagblad, 2021a).\r\rThe nearly \u20ac40 billion in aid that the government has pumped into the business community since March is surprisingly well-suited given its broad and rather 'blind' nature. That conclusion can at least be drawn from the first study into the effectiveness of corona support by economists at Rabobank and Utrecht University (Financieel Dagblad, 2021b).\r\rAccording to some economists, the aid is a waste of money because it is scattered so widely that many unhealthy businesses can survive. They thus form a block to the rest of the economy. The researchers have not seen any of this so far, which is in line with the findings of research conducted in Denmark (Financieel Dagblad, 2021b).", "descriptionInvolvementOfSocialPartners": "Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis, the government has had regular and close consultation with the social partners.

Specifically, this measure is aimed at providing self-employed a minimum income to live from. The ultimate aim is to keep the economy functioning and to maintain the well-being of solo self-employed.\r\rThere have been several forms to this measure. Tozo 1.0 was implemented in March 2020 and three months later, this emergency measure was renewed, as of June 2020 as Tozo 2.0. Tozo 2.0 measure will come to an end at the end of September 2020 and the new measure will run from 1 October 2020 to 31 June 2021. The aim of the measure remains unchanged, namely to support solo self-employed individuals financially to help them maintain their liquidity and to supplement their incomes. This version of the measure is divided into periods of three months, to slowly reduce the scope of the measure in the interest of sustainability. As time progresses only the most dramatically hit or vulnerable solo self-employed will be eligible for support. The municipal governments implement this national measure. ", "descriptionContentOfMeasure": "The Tozo 3.0 is one of these measures to be extended in the third package of emergency measures. It will continue to work in much the same way with some adjustments, namely supplementing the lost income of solo self-employed and also offering business loan to participants at low interest rates. The measure was designed to be broad and to help as many solo self-employed as possible and for this reason it is a relatively straight forward measure.\r\rThe Tozo 3.0 includes an income assessment to judge whether a solo-self-employed person is eligible for the measure (which already existed in the previous version of the measure), an assessment of capital will also be added as of April 2021. This assessment will check for the assets and capital (including bank accounts, saving accounts, cars, shares, obligations etc.), held by the entrepreneur in question. Entrepreneurs with over \u20ac45,520 in total capital will not eligible for the measure.\r\rThe working of the measure remains the same: \r\r* The municipal governments supplement income up to this level, or up to the amount of \u20ac1,050 for a single person and up to \u20ac1,500 for a couple. \r* The other option is for the entrepreneur to take out a loan of up to around \u20ac10,000 as capital for the enterprise. This loan can be paid back within three years at an interest rate of 2%. \r\rThe eligibility criteria are based on being self-employed (working at least 1,225 hours a year or 23.5 hours a week), while the solo-enterprise must have been active before the COVID-19 crisis and the TOZO came into effect, before 17 March 2020.", "descriptionUseOfMeasure": "Establishing the use for the TOZO measure is more difficult than for nationally implemented measures as the TOZO is implemented by the 355 municipal governments in the Netherlands. Data on the use takes longer to collect as a result. The most recent, preliminary data, received from municipalities and analysed by the NSO, Statistics Netherlands, shows that until June 2020, approximately 100,010 people made use of the TOZO income support.\r\rSelf-employed persons in a service profession made the most use of the TOZO measure (38 percent), followed by the self-employed in a creative or linguistic profession (34 percent). The former mainly concerned cooks, hairdressers and bar staff, of whom about half made use of this measure. The creative professions include visual and performing artists and photographers and interior designers. In addition, the proportion of self-employed persons that TOZO applied for was also high among entrepreneurs in the transport and logistics professions. In the professional group drivers (taxi) and the like, 6 out of 10 self-employed persons made use of this measure.\r\rIncidentally, there is a strong correlation between the decrease in the number of hours worked by self-employed persons and the number of requests to use the TOZO measure. The decline in the number of hours worked in service professions was greatest among the self-employed, 22 hours per week, and the TOZO was most often claimed in such professions. And vice versa: this entitlement was also lowest among self-employed persons who worked little or no fewer hours in April, such as agricultural professions and professions in public administration.\r\rThe process to TOZO: commissioned by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment, a process evaluation was carried out into the realization of the TOZO. Three success factors have been described in the evaluation of this process. Firstly, there is much appreciation for the fact that stakeholders are involved at a very early stage. The most relevant stakeholders were involved from the start. All parties involved were aware of the social task they faced and the need to solve this problem together. The involvement of stakeholders has also provided support for the TOZO. Second, the collaboration has been predominantly constructive. Good use has been made of everyone's expertise and the predominant image is that there was room for everyone's perspective. Those involved felt that they were heard and everyone's input was included in the development of TOZO and the developed products. Third, the right people were represented in the project organisation. \r\rHowever, this study shows that the collaboration has changed over time. Once TOZO 1 was developed and the first supporting products delivered, the sense of urgency waned. In addition, after a while difficult subjects came up on the agenda, in which there was less of a shared interest, but more of conflicting interests. The parties involved were less unanimous on a number of subjects, in particular when it came to lawfulness issues and implementation costs.", "descriptionInvolvementOfSocialPartners": "Since the start of the COVID-19 crisis, the peak level social partners and cabinet have been meeting on weekly basis to develop policies and measures as effectively and quickly as possible.

Currently this includes more sectors and sub-sectors than can be noted down here. The sectors included is adapted regularly, by the Ministry since also enterprises that were not obliged to close doors were hit hard such as small fashion shop, so these enterprises were included at a later stage and the ministry announced that the list is not complete yet (13 April 2020).

About half of these are companies with one workplace. For 93% these were companies with fewer than ten workplaces. Hospitality entrepreneurs in particular have made use of this scheme (Bedrijvenbeleid in beeld, 2021).\r\rThe RVO also uses NACE codes for this measure. Tens of thousands of entrepreneurs reported that their NACE code was missing. The government used these signals for the expansions and the rectification.

Three axes are planned to achieve this objective: \r\r* the creation of a \"social solidarity\" mechanism to supplement the remuneration of employees placed in partial activity situations; \r* the possibility of adapting the programming of holidays in each establishment; \r* the implementation of a reinforced protocol of barrier gestures. \r\rThe agreement is applicable until 31 October 2020. The provisions concerning the creation of a solidarity fund will cease on 30 April 2020.", "descriptionContentOfMeasure": "The main content of the measure consist of:\r\r1. **Solidarity Fund**\rSince March 16, 2020, all the activities of the group's industrial and commercial system have been stopped, which has led the company to place the vast majority of staff under the partial activity regime\", according to the agreement, which emphasizes that managers or technicians on fixed-days contracts already benefit from contractual provisions allowing them to maintain their remuneration in the event of partial unemployment. In order to enable all professional categories (employees, workers and technicians managers on lump-sum hours) to benefit from guaranteed remuneration for the period from 16 March to 30 April, the agreement sets up a solidarity fund. The fund will be financed by the payment of two days' leave for managers and one day for workers and technicians. Employees will be able to voluntarily pay the remainder of their paid leave that could not be used before 31 May 2020. \rFor its part, PSA Automobiles undertakes to top up the days paid into the fund by 40%. These payments should make it possible to maintain employees' remuneration for a full month for 100% of the workforce. In the event that the partial activity is extended to all or part of the company's establishments, priority will be given to voluntary payments. If necessary, an additional number of days may be deducted. This may be done by half-day (excluding paid holidays) \"to adjust as best as possible to the gradual takeover of the sites\", up to a limit of 0.5 days for workers and technicians and one day for managers.\r\r2. **Arrangement of paid holidays**\rThe agreement takes into account Order No. 2020-323 of 25 March 2020 allowing for the adaptation of the terms and conditions for taking paid holidays. Thus, each head of establishment will be able to impose the taking of six working days of leave during the period of partial activity, from 7 April to 31 October 2020. This week of paid leave may be taken either consecutively if the site's activity has been completely suspended, or non-consecutively if the site's activity is partially maintained.\r\rWith regard to the setting of the weeks of paid summer holidays, each head of establishment will also be able to adjust their positioning, provided that each employee is guaranteed at least 12 consecutive working days over the period between 1 July and 31 August. In this context, the agreement provides for priority in the choice of dates for employees whose spouses cannot change their departure dates, for single-parent families, and for employees working 100% during the period of partial activity in their establishment. The latter will also be able to keep the previously set dates, or take three consecutive weeks of leave. In addition, their unused leave balance as of May 31, 2020 may exceptionally be carried forward until December 31, 2020. Finally, the agreement specifies that all employees who have not been able to take their remaining paid leave before May 31, 2020, due to the resumption of activity or the needs of the establishments, will be able to take these days until July 31, 2020.\r\r3. **An enhanced security protocol**\rThe agreement recalls that, since the start of the health crisis at COVID-19, PSA Automobiles has adopted a reinforced health protocol of barrier gestures (wearing of masks on site, respect of distances with floor markings, ventilation of work spaces, longer break times for hand washing, etc.). Currently being rolled out at all industrial, commercial, service and engineering sites, these measures are subject to internal audits and assessment by health and safety committees to ensure their \"perfect\" implementation. A presentation of the audit reports as well as a field trip with members of the staff representative bodies will make it possible to share these conclusions, to assess their content and to correct, if necessary, the measures taken locally. In addition, management undertakes to implement communication and awareness-raising actions associated with the deployment of the enhanced security protocol.", "descriptionUseOfMeasure": "The agreement applies to about 68,000 employees in France.", "descriptionInvolvementOfSocialPartners": "The CGT did not signed the agreement, likely due to the reduction of its representativeness in the sector.

favourable working conditions than those stipulated by the Labour Code.\r\rIn order to legally use those options, employers have to meet the following conditions:\r\r1. experience decrease in sales by at least 15% experienced over two consecutive months after 1 January 2020 (the reference period comprised the same two months of the previous year) due to COVID-19 outbreak;\r2. experience decrease in
