Rising infections, international travel advisories and Corona’s second shutdown have left domestic hotels empty. Many companies, also in the restaurant sector, are considering being closed throughout the winter. Especially those who work with seasonal workers. Because seasonal workers, who are normally only hired from mid-December, cannot start working immediately. This is only possible after a full month of contributions.
However, in view of the poor performance of the company, the method of choice would be to work part-time. For the winter season to work, the contribution month’s waiting period must drop, as Prodinger’s advisory group emphasized on Wednesday. Short-term work (phase 3) should definitely adapt to the start of the season.
“The problem is the situation of those businesses, mostly vacation hotels with the majority of starting employees, which already closed in many places in November and will probably not open until mid-December,” said Lukas Prodinger of tax consultancy Prodinger .
Therefore, labor relations only begin in December and the first full month of contributions would be January. Under the current legal situation, part-time work would only be possible on February 1, 2021. And there “is currently the rabbit in the pepper”, that’s why Prodinger. For seasonal contracts and a running winter season, the contribution month’s waiting period should decrease.
The prospect of possible additional lockdowns in January and February and the associated risk of having to bear the full salary burden appear to be too great and disproportionate for one’s own efforts, Prodinger said. “You have to help companies.” According to its own information, the Prodinger Group counts several thousand hotel employees in payroll accounting.
