Incentives for self-employment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Economically Dependent Self-Employed Workers are authorized to hire employees when they have to interrupt their activity for reasons of work-life balance, and this may entail the termination of a contract with their client.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This new possibility offered to the Economically Dependent Self-Employed Worker will be compatible with the protection of the hired employee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-The fee to be paid by the self-employed worker is clarified in those cases in which, at the start of his activity, he is covered by the so-called &quot;Flat Rate for self-employed workers&quot;, as it is not set as a percentage, but as a fixed and stable amount, <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-The measures to promote self-employment through unemployment benefits are modified in the following aspects:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, the group of self-employed workers who will be eligible for unemployment benefits will be expanded, allowing them to capitalise 100% of their benefits to invest in the necessary work, by eliminating the age barrier that existed to date;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, the age barrier existing at the time of entry into force of this law, which prevents the compatibility of unemployment benefits with self-employment for a certain period, is eliminated, and its purpose is to help professionals at the beginning of their activity, a period in which income is usually lower. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The suspension period for unemployment benefits is extended in cases where the individual is self-employed, in order to prevent the proximity of the date on which unemployment benefits would expire due to exceeding the legally established suspension periods from affecting the individual&#039;s ability to continue his or her activity in cases where there may be doubts about its viability.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For newly created worker associations and worker cooperatives, the possibility has been added for workers who join to be able to avail themselves of the right to collect unemployment benefits in a single payment in order to do so in the same way that the unemployed are already allowed to do.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, some aspects of the single payment of the benefit for cessation of activity are clarified, which will no longer be available to working members of worker cooperatives or labour companies, but will be available to those who, meeting all the requirements, intend to carry out a professional activity as self-employed persons or allocate 100% of the amount to a contribution of share capital of a newly established commercial entity or one established within a maximum period of twelve months prior to the contribution.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifically, the money may be used for the costs of incorporation and start-up, payment of fees and taxes or payment for specific advisory, training and information services up to a maximum of 15% of the total.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, those who intend to follow this route must ensure effective control of the company and carry out a professional activity there as a self-employed worker, otherwise the payment of the benefit for cessation of activity will be considered as an improper payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This regulation, which eliminates the 2011 Royal Decree that develops the regulations of the Law on Protection for Cessation of Activity, will also be incorporated into the Social Economy regulation, approved in 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>2. Self-employed unemployed<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Compatibility of unemployment benefits with registration with the RETA: self-employed workers of any age will be able to do so for a maximum of nine months, a possibility previously reserved for those under 30 years of age. This measure will benefit some 50,000 self-employed workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Resumption of unemployment benefits: to provide a second chance for self-employed workers, the period for the resumption of unemployment benefits has been extended from two to five years, provided that economic or organisational reasons for the closure are proven. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new law also extends the bonus to collaborating family members, so that they can enjoy a bonus on their Social Security contributions for two years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this way, in addition to the 18 months during which, since the approval of the labour reform in 2012, they could benefit from a bonus of 50% on their contributions, another six months can now be added during which they can benefit from a new bonus of 25%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This law will come into force thirty days after its official publication, that is, on October 9.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are thinking of registering as self-employed, or you are already self-employed but want to be informed of the aid and benefits you can receive, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rolexreplicasrelojes.com\">replica watches<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/aseryde.com\/en\/contacto-cieza\/\">ask us<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Official State Gazette (BOE) of September 10th published Law 31\/2015 of September 9th, which modifies and updates the regulations on self-employment and adopts measures to promote self-employment and the social economy.
