CEOE classifies the Government’s proposal to compensate for the rise within the minimal wage as “interventionist” and “trilera” | Economy | EUROtoday

The employers’ affiliation is sort of definitively shifting away from the settlement to lift the minimal interprofessional wage (SMI) to 1,221 euros gross in 14 funds, 3.1% greater than now. CEOE and Cepyme denounce in a joint assertion that they’ve realized of the proposal with which the Government tried to persuade them by the press, and that they don’t just like the method itself.

The Ministry of Finance proposes an growing deduction in company tax for firms that rent employees with salaries above the wage ground. This incentive might cowl as much as 100% of the wage price linked to the rise within the SMI, in accordance with the proposal to which this newspaper had entry, and is geared toward actions with excessive expenditure on personnel.

Regarding the content material of the proposal, CEOE and Cepyme say: “We deduce that it represents the replacement of the expected indexation of public contracts with some trivial formulas and that do not compensate for the costs associated with the proposed update of the SMI, ignoring what is shared by all the interlocutors of the bipartite social dialogue in the AENC.”

The employers consider that the Treasury’s method “leaves out all the self-employed and the vast majority of companies in all sectors.” “In fact,” they proceed, “the measure also excludes, in an unusual way, loss-making companies, which are the ones that need it most, cooperatives and non-profit entities.”

Likewise, enterprise organizations classify the situations to entry the deduction as “unattainable for most companies.” “Above all, it represents a new interference in collective bargaining and business freedom. It is pure interventionism,” add the enterprise associations, which can situation a definitive evaluation when the Government delivers the documentation on the proposal, as soon as the employers’ Executive Committee has met.

This Thursday afternoon a brand new assembly shall be held on the Ministry of Labor, with the participation of employers and unions. The employees’ representatives expressed their doubts about this Treasury method earlier than realizing the main points.

The employers’ request that the unions did assist (and that Labor additionally supported) was to affect the rise within the minimal wage on public contracts, a risk that they declare from the Treasury yearly and that María Jesús Montero’s division rejects each time the problem is raised.

With the employers’ affiliation nearly dominated out, it’s regular for Yolanda Díaz to as soon as once more attain an settlement solely with CC OO and UGT. The second vp has solely managed to agree on a rise within the SMI with employers, which she agreed to in January 2020. Since 2018, the minimal wage has grown by 61%, to 1,184 gross euros per 30 days and which Labor now intends to lift to 1,221. Unlike different labor initiatives which have stalled of their legislative path, this one doesn’t want the approval of Parliament.
