A NEW APPLICATION PROCEDURE UNDER MEASURE 60/40 HAS STARTED

As of today, the Employment Agency starts a new application procedure under measure 60/40.

It may include employers seeking support to maintain the employment of their staff between March and June 2022.

The terms and conditions for receiving support in the period March - June 2022 are similar to those applied for the previous two months of January and February.

The measure continues to support the maintenance of employment in enterprises engaged in economic activity in the sectors specified in the Council of Ministers Decree № 151/2020, whose average monthly sales revenues in 2020 have decreased compared to 2019.

The regulated support at this stage also amounts to 60% of the income and social security contributions of each employee in enterprises, whose sales revenues in the month for which the support is provided have decreased by not less than 40% compared to the average monthly revenues for the whole of 2019

For employees in enterprises, whose sales revenues during the month decreased by at least 30 percent compared to the average monthly income for 2019, will continue to be paid funds in the amount of 50%. For those established after January 1, 2020, the decline in revenue for the month for which they apply will be determined relative to the average monthly revenue for 2020.

The amount of funds provided for each employee will continue to be determined on the basis of his insurance income for October 2021.

The funds under the current design of the measure will be paid monthly, as the deadlines for acceptance of documents are as follows:

- for the month of March 2022 - until 17.00 on 29.04.2022 - for documents submitted in person at the Labor Office Directorate and until 30.04.2022 - for documents sent electronically through the Security System electronic service or licensed postal operator;

For convenience and in view of the set deadline, employers who meet the conditions of the Council of Ministers Decree № 151/2020, as amended with CMD № 40/31.03.2022, and wishing to receive support for the months of May and June 2022, may apply by submitting only one application for the two months, using the approved forms and sample documents.
