The State Council Executive Meeting held on September 7 deployed policies to strengthen support for employment and entrepreneurship, expand employment space, and cultivate and expand new momentum of market entities and economy. It mentioned that social security subsidy for will be given to to according to regulations.
How much subsidy is there for flexible employment personnel? How to get it? What policy support can this group receive?
Flexible Employees Social Security Subsidy This is how the State Council Executive Meeting held on September 7 pointed out that employment is the foundation of people's livelihood, and entrepreneurship can bring employment. The meeting proposed five measures to promote employment and entrepreneurship:
First, the area will implement the subsidy for retaining employment and training, and the unemployment insurance balance reserve will be relaxed from 24 months to 18 months. Graduates who have not been employed within two years and registered unemployed young people will be included in the job expansion subsidy. Unemployment insurance benefits will be issued in a timely manner to unemployed people.
2. Provide social security subsidies to flexible employment personnel on the platform according to regulations, and use special loans to support platform enterprises.
Third, if the entrepreneurial guarantee lender is in trouble due to the epidemic, he can repay the loan for one year. Add credit loans for small and medium-sized enterprises, renewal loans for , etc.
Fourth, increase policy support for venture capital.
Fifth, the incubation base invested by the government is doing its best to provide startup venues for free.
As early as July 2020, the "Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Supporting Flexible Employment through Multi-channels" clearly stated that policy support for part-time workers should be strengthened, and those who have difficulty in employment and those who have not been employed within two years of leaving school will be given social insurance subsidy for according to regulations.
So, who can get the social security subsidy for flexible employment personnel on the platform? How to get it?
According to relevant regulations, the scope of identification of flexible employment personnel includes:
1. Individual industrial and commercial households who have not yet reached the legal retirement age of ;
2. Part-time employees who have not participated in the basic pension insurance for employees of enterprises in the employer;
3. Employees who rely on new business platforms such as e-commerce, online car-hailing, online meal delivery, express logistics, etc., and have not established labor relations with new business platforms;
4. Other flexible employment personnel stipulated by the state and autonomous region.
For example: A, who is good at creating short video content, has graduated for one year and has been a "UP host" on a certain platform, taking some videos to make a living. Such freelancers can receive social security subsidies from the human resources and social security department to reduce the burden of social security payment.
applicants can provide original or copy of basic identity certificate (or graduation certificate), flexible employment certificate and other materials. After waiting for review by the human resources and social security department, if the conditions are met, the subsidy funds will be paid to the applicant's social security card bank account.
Specific standards are subject to a certain amount of subsidies based on the social insurance premium paid after flexible employment, and in principle, no more than two-thirds of the actual payment.
But be careful, this subsidy cannot be received indefinitely.
The subsidy period is different depending on the object. The social security subsidy period for people with employment difficulties shall not exceed 3 years, and those who are less than 5 years away from the legal retirement age can be extended to retirement. The social security subsidy period for college graduates shall not exceed 2 years.
policies also propose that if flexible employment personnel have any of the following circumstances during the period of enjoying social insurance subsidy, they will stop enjoying insurance subsidies, including: recruitment by employers; reaching the legal retirement age; those who have already enjoyed the cumulative expiration of their period (including those who have placed in public welfare positions); other situations where social subsidies should be stopped.
Social security does not fully cover the flexible employment group
Data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that as of the end of 2021, the number of flexible employment people nationwide has reached 200 million. According to the statistics of the National Higher Education Student Information Consulting and Employment Guidance Center, flexible employment of college graduates in 2020 accounts for 16.9%, and flexible employment of college graduates in 2021 accounts for 16.25%.
According to this size and trend, the scale of flexible employment groups will be more considerable in the future. They are an important way to stabilize employment and a group that cannot be ignored in the social security system arrangements.
Researcher Li Changan , a researcher at the National Institute of Opening-up of the University of International Business and Economics, said bluntly that while the scale of flexible employment continues to expand, the problem of low employment quality for flexible employment practitioners is becoming increasingly prominent.
The "quality of employment" referred to here is a comprehensive indicator to measure the employment status of workers, including wages, working hours, working environment, social security, career development and other aspects. Incomplete social security is one of the shortcomings in the employment quality of flexible employment personnel.
Li Changan pointed out that at present, my country's social security has not yet fully covered the flexible employment group, and due to uncertain labor relations, platform companies lack motivation to pay insurance for flexible employment. In addition, the payment of social security for flexible employment personnel is a considerable expense, which is also one of the important reasons why they are unwilling to participate in insurance.
, President of the Chinese Society of Social Security , emphasized in an interview with the media that flexible employment has the basic elements of formal employment in principle. Taking platform employment as an example, they all receive work tasks from the platform on order, obey platform management, and accept platform punishment. They should be given the same social security as traditional employed workers.
Weaving a tight social security network cannot be stopped
Weaving a tight social security network for flexible employment, and is increasingly receiving attention from decision-making levels.
Central Economic Work Conference held at the end of last year proposed for the first time that it is necessary to "improve flexible employment labor employment and social security policies ". This year's government work report also clearly pointed out that it is necessary to "strengthen flexible employment services, improve flexible employment social security policies, and carry out pilot projects for occupational injury protection in new employment forms."
This is also an important topic that the State Council Executive Meeting is concerned about. The State Council meeting on July 13 mentioned that flexible employment can effectively promote employment, and is also conducive to stimulating market vitality and social creativity. We must strengthen protection and services. Including social security subsidies will be given to college graduates, people with employment difficulties, etc. who engage in flexible employment.
At present, many places across the country are improving employment and social security policies to support the healthy development of flexible employment, and policies such as social security subsidies are important components. Taking Shandong as an example, the province has issued 340 million yuan in flexible employment social insurance subsidies since this year. Analysts believe that relevant measures will help stimulate the awareness of flexible employment personnel to actively participate in insurance.
There are more policy measures to protect the rights and interests of flexible employment groups.
For example, since this year, the "new type of work-related injury insurance" created for occupations such as takeaway riders and online ride-hailing drivers have been piloted in many places. Recently, the National Health Insurance Administration also stated that local governments can explore the inclusion of flexible employment personnel in the coverage of maternity insurance to better protect their medical and maternity protection rights.
Li Zhong, deputy minister of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said at a press conference on August 25 that the next step will continue to promote major reforms of the social security system and continuously expand the coverage of social security, especially to include more flexible employment personnel in the scope of social security.
