Companies and unions have agreed to propose joint solutions to the Government to alleviate the shock measures that seek to curb the health alert for the coronavirus. CEOE, Cepyme, UGT and CCOO put as the first point of their measures a new regulation of temporary layoffs, known as Temporary Employment Regulation Files (ERTE) that companies can apply to their staff.
The agreement, which must still be discussed in detail, assumes that the business community needs to respond quickly to the restrictions imposed by the health alert and undertake workforce adjustments quickly. For this reason, they will propose to the Prime Minister this afternoon an adapted regulation of the ERTEs that "will modify the procedures and shorten the resolution periods within the necessary legal certainty."
The causes will be, among others, the closure of centers due to cancellation of activities, restrictions on the mobility of people or goods, isolation to avoid contagion or lack of supplies.
With this legal tool in hand and Social Security's commitment to take care of the costs of people who are on leave, the social agents and the Government hope to cushion the economic impact on thousands of workers who in the coming weeks could go to unemployment.
