DOCUMENTS ON THE NEW DESIGN OF THE MEASURE 60/40 ARE ACCEPTED

The Employment Agency has launched a procedure for applying for employers under the measure, which has gained popularity as 60/40. The payment of funds for maintaining the employment of employees after the state of emergency will continue for the months of June and July.

In the period June-July 2021, the maintenance of employment in enterprises engaged in economic activity in these sectors will be supported, whose average monthly sales revenues in 2020 have decreased compared to 2019.

The regulated support for the new stage will now be determined on the basis of the insurance income of the employees for the month of April 2021. It remains at the rate of 60% of the income and social security contributions of each employee in enterprises whose sales revenues have decreased by not less than 40 percent in the month for which the support is provided compared to the same month in 2019.

Financial support in the amount of 50% is provided to maintain the employment of employees in enterprises whose sales revenues during the compared periods have decreased by not less than 30 percent. For those established after June 1, 2019, the decline in revenues for the month for which they apply will be determined compared to the average monthly revenues for 2020.

The funds under the current design of the measure will be paid monthly, and the submission of documents will be allowed only within the month following the past month for which the application is made. Employers wishing to receive support for the two months will be able to apply consecutively using the same forms and sample documents for the two months.

At this stage of the measure 60/40, the application and the documents for payment of funds under the Decree are submitted to the Directorate "Labor Office", serving the territory of the place of work of employees, regardless of the method of submission.

Applications and accompanying documents may be submitted electronically through the Secure Electronic Service System, sent through a licensed postal operator, and submitted on site at the relevant labor office.

Information for employers, the application procedure, containing the conditions, requirements, procedure and manner of application, are published on the website of the Employment Agency, under the heading "Financial incentives for maintaining employment". Those who are familiar with the published documents can get additional information in any directorate "Labor Office" in the country.
