This royal decree-law aims, first, at the approval of social protection measures.

 

 

 

 

 

Secondly, this regulation introduces some employment promotion measures that urgently need to be implemented to guarantee the maintenance of employment in groups especially sensitive to job instability and unemployment: long-term unemployed, rural workers, discontinuous permanent workers in activities tourist, etc.

 

Along with this, this royal decree-law also includes certain provisions aimed at establishing the registration of the working day, in order to ensure compliance with the limits on working hours, to create a framework of legal security for both people workers as well as for companies and to enable control by the Labor and Social Security Inspectorate.

 

Main measures:

 

 

1. Unemployment subsidy for people over 55

 

The art. 1 of RD-law 8/2019 establishes the modification of the regulation of unemployment subsidy for people over 55:

 

New wording art. 274.4 LGSS:

 

 

“Workers over the age of fifty-two may access the subsidy, even if they do not have family responsibilities, provided that they are in one of the cases contemplated in the previous sections, they have paid for unemployment for at least six years throughout their working life and prove that, at the time of application, they meet all the requirements, except for age, to access any type of contributory retirement pension in the Social Security system “.

 

-Increase in the amount of the contribution due to the retirement contingency during the receipt of the subsidy from 100 to 125% of the minimum contribution limit in force at each moment.

 

2.- Modification of the benefits in favor of relatives and increase of the minimum amounts of the contributory pension of total permanent disability for minors of 60 years.

 

This measure is justified, as explained in the Preamble of the RD-Law, in the impossibility of reincorporating into the labor market that in many cases have suffered the workers affected by a total permanent disability, especially when access to this situation occurs from certain ages in which the lack of qualification or knowledge has led to prolonging this situation until access to retirement pension.

interprofessional minimum wage that has occurred in the year 2019, which in turn is reproduced in the amount of the minimum contribution base, it is an extraordinary and urgent need to carry out the increase with an effective date of January 1, 2019.
