Remission of social security payments made by companies with under 50 employees
On 29 May 2020, the Chamber of Deputies approved an amendment to the Social Security Act. It is actually an extension of the Antivirus Programme with regime C. It includes remission of social security payments paid by the employer for June, July, and August 2020, and it applies to companies with under 50 employees. The basic conditions for remission of social security are: the company 1) employs no more than 50 employees who participate in health insurance and 2) will not lay off more than 10 per cent of the employees and will keep 90 per cent of the payroll amount compared to March 2020.
The bill is currently being deliberated in the Senate.
