Since the state of emergency was declared in our country on March 14 to combat COVID-19, together with the movement restriction and confinement measures, non-essential companies in which teleworking is not feasible have had to choose to process an ERTE for their employees, either with the suspension of the employment contract or with the reduction of working hours.
The ERTE is not something new, it is a figure present in our legal system, but due to the health situation it has become more pronounced. The problem is that many companies have taken advantage of this situation and have poland telegram initiated both temporary and termination employment regulation files, without meeting the requirements. This is a labor fraud. If you are aware of any situation of this type, it is best to go to specialized fraud investigation companies .
Definition
What is an ERTE? The Temporary Employment Regulation File. , unlike the ERE (Employment Regulation File) which consists of the termination of the contract.
This procedure is provisional in nature and is subject to a period of time, at the end of which the company is obliged to restore the contractual conditions prior to the implementation of the ERTE, as well as to maintain the jobs of the employees who have been affected.
Characteristics
Article 47 of the Workers' Statute regulates the figure of the temporary Employment Regulation File. It defines it as: Suspension of the contract or reduction of working hours for economic, technical, organizational or production reasons or due to force majeure.

The procedure will be applicable regardless of the number of employees in the company and the number of those affected by the suspension.
The adoption of measures to suspend contracts or reduce working hours will not give rise to any right to compensation for the affected workers.
Workers will receive unemployment benefits after the involuntary, permanent or temporary loss of a job, or after the reduction of daily working hours due to being legally unemployed, following the corresponding ERTE procedure.
As we are dealing with a suspension or reduction of working hours, the company is still obliged to pay 100% of the company's contribution to Social Security.
