WEB EMPLOYER SYSTEM IS ALREADY WORKING TO RECEIVE INFORMATION TO IMPLEMENT EMERGENCY EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

The Emergency Employment and Income Maintenance Program, instituted by Provisional Measure 936/2020, can now be implemented.

The Web Employer System (https://sd.mte.gov.br/sdweb/empregadorweb/index.jsf) has been updated to send contractual information to reduce hours and wages or suspend the employment contract.

For this, the employer must access the system to declare who the employees are who will be entitled to the benefit, choosing the following hypotheses:

1. Proportional reduction of hours and wages: 25%, 50% or 70%; or

2. Temporary suspension of the employment contract.

It is important to remember that, under the terms of MP 936/2020, employees of companies with annual sales in 2019, in an amount up to R $ 4.8 million, will have the benefit 100% paid by the Government, based on the calculation of the monthly amount of the unemployment insurance to which the employee would be entitled.

Employees of companies with annual sales in 2019, exceeding R $ 4.8 million, will have the benefit paid 70% by the Government and 30% by the employer, with the same basis for calculating unemployment insurance.

It is worth remembering that the employer must notify the Government of the reduction in working hours and wages in a maximum of ten days, from the conclusion of the agreement.

Finally, according to the previous report, in the event of a reduction in working hours and wages through an individual agreement, within the same period, the seal of the professional union must be obtained for the agreement to be valid.
