If the state of alarm is already in its second extension and could have a few more due to the coronavirus, the Temporary Employment Regulatory Records that the professional clubs are requesting now, for "causes of force majeure" and to counteract inactivity, also they will have their continuation in some cases when the confinement finishes . The entities of First and Second, have taken this step now or not as LaLiga encouraged them, may request another ERTE later for "economic reasons" if the competition has not been restarted along with the rest of activities in Spain.
LaLiga hoped that the labor authority operating in the different provincial administrations under the Ministry of Labor would open its hand . However, Barcelona, Espanyol and Alavés , who were the first to request this measure, for different reasons and with different applications among their players and workers, have already verified that the aid will cover them until the Government decrees the end of the state of alarm. and no more, as the BOE made clear on the day of its launch: "The duration of the ERTE authorized under the foreseen causes may not extend beyond the period in which the extraordinary situation derived from COVID-19 is maintained, It is understood, therefore, that its maximum duration will be that of the state of alarm This limitation will be applicable both in those files in respect of which the express resolution falls, as well as those that are resolved by administrative silence , regardless of the content of the request " Atlético, Las Palmas, Zaragoza, Racing, Ponferradina and those who come from behind like Tenerife, Rayo and Alba know what there is.
ERTEs can be chained without limitation. Barça , for example, whose record did not affect the first team, will not extend it. It will agree on wages. The rest must very justify the reasons for requesting a second file for technical and economic organizational reasons. "The difference with the force majeure is that it can last what is agreed with the workers. This ERTE must be given an end date, although later it can be modified with consensus and provided the labor authority is notified," he says. a government source.
The ERTE of force majeure can be initiated, as now, by "those who have their direct cause in the loss of activity as a consequence of the different governmental measures adopted: suspension or cancellation of activities, temporary closure of places of public influx, restrictions on public transportation and mobility of people or goods in general, or urgent and extraordinary situations due to the contagion of the workforce or preventive isolation measures. " The ERTE that will come later affects "the suspension of employment or, on the contrary, a reduction in working hours in the event that dismissal is not necessary, due to economic, technical, organizational or production causes ."
The ERTE will not produce effects in the listing period , which will be considered as effectively listed. It represents 70% of the regulatory base during the first six months and 50% from the seventh month. Players can agree that the club will assume part of the loss, stopping paying contributions and partially supplementing, as compensation, the difference between salary and unemployment benefit. A professional player, hired full time, could earn a maximum of 1,411 euros if he has two children and a minimum of 1,098 euros if he does not have them. Those figures would decrease if he were hired part-time.
