• Labor. Entrepreneurs and unions see a new extension of ERTE as inevitable
  • Managers survey. 52,000 companies will convert their ERTE into layoffs by the end of the year

More than 150,000 workers in temporary employment regulation (ERTE) files due to force majeure presented during the state of alarm still have not received unemployment benefits, as denounced on Monday by the General Council of Colleges of Administrative Managers based on the data of a survey carried out among its associates.

The document reveals that more than 250,000 companies still keep the ERTE alive due to force majeure that they presented during the state of alarm. In this sense, the previous survey warned that 46% of companies with ERTE due to force majeure would be obliged to consume the entire term provided by the Government.

"We do not understand why continue to hide the real numbers, when society continues to be a clamor for the high number of cases that we all know of people who have not yet received the subsidy and these are not isolated examples," said the president of the Administrative Managers, Fernando Santiago.

He also stressed that until companies do not recover the level of income prior to the state of alarm, mechanisms must be established to prevent them from falling.

"The Government must understand that the process that has been followed to negotiate European aid is the process that companies demand for themselves. If we want to maintain the level of employment or, at least, that it does not suffer much, additional mechanisms must be established of loans and real , effective and agile aid for companies ", Santiago has defended.

Based on the data collected by the College of Managers, if the situation does not change and new measures are not adopted, the managers calculate that more than 240,000 companies will have closed before the end of the year and 52,000 companies will convert the ERTE into ERE, which will mean about two million layoffs.

"Either the government understands the needs of SMEs and makes it easier for them to access aid or the fall will be very hard, even without a flare-up hardening the situation," warns the president.

Within the sector itself, according to the survey, 16% of administrative managers have been forced to submit an ERTE. 20% have seen their clients fall by around 24%, while another 20% of managers have increased their number of clients by around 14%. At the same time, 79% of administrative managers have increased their expenses by 10% to comply with the safety regulations against coronavirus.
