ERTE AND WORK IN BLACK: BENEFITS OR IRRIGATIONS?
With
the COVID-19 crisis and the state of alarm, businessmen have had to stop
production and adapt to new scenarios.
Just
six months ago, the event we are currently experiencing was only associated
with a science fiction story or post-apocalyptic series, but this pandemic has
caused society to undergo all kinds of changes from a social, economic and
political point of view.
On
March 14, 2020, with Royal Decree 463/2020, a state of alarm was declared in
order to manage the health crisis caused by COVID-19. Faced with the
progressive advance of the coronavirus and the halt of companies, businessmen
have had to act immediately, in record time and at a high cost at a
professional and personal level; many of them started the ERTE procedures for
their workers.
The
Temporary Employment Regulation Files (ERTE), allow companies to terminate the
employment relationship with their workers for a specific time, this has become
one of the effective measures for Spanish companies to deal with economic and
technical issues , organizational or force majeure, such as the impact of the
coronavirus pandemic on their productive and therefore economic activity.
COLLAPSE IN THE OFFICES OF THE
PUBLIC SERVICE OF STATE EMPLOYMENT (SEPE)
The
avalanche of ERTE presented by the companies, with the aim of avoiding the
dismissal of their employees, has caused the collapse in the offices of the
State Public Employment Service (SEPE), with the consequent delay in the
transfer of the benefit.
For
this reason, the majority of affected workers have not yet received the benefit
corresponding to the previous month, according to data published by SEPE, about
80,000 benefits are being processed daily, a figure that could complicate even
processing all benefits before the end of month.
In
this situation that many households are going through, having a job in black is
a very present reality for many people. Although it is totally illegal,
especially when there are cases in which people are charging the ERTE.
For this reason we want to tell you
about the main risks involved:
•
Unprotection of the worker: The employer does not have any type of
responsibility over the worker. Therefore, if non-payments occur, the worker
will be totally unprotected before the law and will lose their right to
denounce the employer.
•
Withdrawal from work: If you work in a black company, in the event of an
accident at work and need to be discharged for a certain period of time, you
will not be able to claim the subsidy for this disability, in addition you will
not be able to receive income from this cause.
•
Sanctions: In addition, the Treasury and Social Security may investigate the
worker and punish him.

CYBER CRIMES LOOK AT US
It
is a reality that technology and the internet in particular have facilitated
our day to day, we can be anywhere in the world in real time and carry out more
than 10 conversations at the same time; This perspective of the technological world
in which we live has also encouraged the appearance of new computer crimes as
it is an easy way to commit a crime.
The
landscape of computer crime in Spain has evolved in recent months; reason why
the Ministry of the Interior has warned of a month of cyber-scams using the
coronavirus as a hook, cyber-fraudsters have them install new applications on
their electronic devices or visit web pages to obtain personal data and take
control of their computers and mobile phones .
Inside
cybersecurity experts highlight in their reports that criminals take advantage
of the vulnerability of people in need to access information about the disease
through the internet and social networks to find out the latest news of the
pandemic or buy face masks or donations for hospitals.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID CYBER
CRIMES:
Do not access public Wi-Fi
networks: it is something that you cannot avoid, you
must always try to verify that the network is what it seems. Some hackers
create wifi networks with names similar to those of public networks to mislead
users.
Create complex passwords:
(combinations of numbers and letters, upper and lower case ...), change them
regularly, install an antivirus and update your devices.
Fake emails:
if you receive emails requesting personal or confidential information, do not
reply to them, download or execute the associated files.
•
Offers of banking services: if you
receive offers from online banking entities that claim to be authorized but
their address is incomplete or does not exist, the contact is via mobile
numbers or whose prefix is not Spanish. They are usually fake web pages. Also
be suspicious if you find financing or investment offers in very favorable
conditions from entities located in remote countries, about which you cannot
obtain information. They are almost always ghost entities that will ask you to
send an amount of money that you will not recover.
•
Monitor the activity of minors on the
network: minors are especially vulnerable to certain types of attacks, so
they must be protected, monitoring their activity and preventing them from
engaging in risky behavior.
Children,
young and old we are not aware that the virtual world is as dangerous or more
dangerous than the physical world. Many times it gives us confidence to sail
from home without realizing that we are opening the doors to our private life.
Many of these crimes can be prevented by changing habits and security systems
of our navigation or devices, even with the education or supervision of the
activity of minors on the Internet. We know that prevention is better than
regret, we just need to apply it.
