The employer may request the part payment of the salaries of employees on fixed-term employment contracts concluded for periods of up to 3 months, at the level of 41.5% of the corresponding amount of salary due for the number of days worked on a work schedule of 8 hours a day. However, this amount cannot exceed 41.5% of the average gross national salary corresponding to the amount of time worked.
This facility is available for a period of 3 months, at the employer’s decision, but not beyond 31 December 2020.
The employer must first pay the entire amount of salary due under the aforementioned fixed-term employment contracts, with the 41.5% part payment of the salary being subsequently reimbursed by the National Agency for Employment.
