Chinanews.com.cn March 25. You Jun, deputy director of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Affairs, revealed on the 25th that as of now, 1.46 million companies have enjoyed jobless insurance returns this year, amounting to 22.2 billion yuan, benefiting a total of 49.51 million. The number of employees and beneficiary companies has exceeded last year.
The State Council Office held a regular briefing on the State Council's policies on the morning of the 25th, and invited Vice Minister You Jun of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Affairs to introduce the "Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on the Implementation of Measures to Strengthen the Employment Stability Measures in Response to the Impact of the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Situation" and answer questions from reporters.
You Jun said that the "Opinions" issued by the State Council, based on the previous policies, clarified many new measures to support enterprises, the purpose of which is to "provide oxygen" and "blood transfusion" for enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, to fully stabilize employment. There are several aspects:
The first is to speed up the policy of reducing burdens. The "Opinions" requires the speedy implementation of phased and targeted tax and fee reduction policies, and in particular the implementation of such policies as the periodical reduction and exemption of social insurance premiums. To this end, a daily scheduling system has been established to urge the implementation of this policy. At present, specific implementation measures have been issued throughout the country. According to statistics, in February, a total of 123.9 billion yuan was paid for the reduction, exemption and unemployment of social insurance premiums for enterprises. It is estimated that the reduction and exemption amount from February to June will exceed 500 billion yuan, and the actual implementation effect may exceed expectations.
The second is the promotion of policies to stabilize posts. On the basis of expanding the benefits of the unemployment insurance return policy for small and medium-sized enterprises in the early stage, for those small and medium-sized enterprises that do not lay off workers or reduce their layoffs, the return standard is 50% of the unemployment insurance premium paid by the original company and its employees in the previous year. Raising it up to 100%, Hubei can be relaxed to all enterprises. At the same time, for the insured enterprises in difficulty, the return of stable posts also appropriately relaxed the identification standards and expanded the benefits of the enterprise. The implementation of this policy is a strong support for enterprises that do not lay off staff and reduce their layoffs. As of now, 1.46 million companies have enjoyed job security repayments this year, amounting to 22.2 billion yuan, benefiting a total of 49.51 million employees, and the number of beneficiary companies has exceeded last year.
The third is to strengthen employment expansion policies, that is, to make good use of various subsidies to promote employment and entrepreneurship. For example, through social security subsidies, fixed tax deductions, secured loans, and discounted interest rates, companies are encouraged to recruit key groups for employment. For individuals, support laborers to start their own businesses through tax deductions, guaranteed loans and discounts, and venue arrangements. While the Opinions emphasized the need to do a good job of implementation, it also clearly required that state-owned enterprises, institutions and grass-roots service projects should expand the scale of recruitment and recruitment, increase the financial incentives for small and medium-sized enterprises to recruit college graduates, and expand the policy of entrepreneurial guarantee loans Coverage.
