Dear client, <\/p>\n
Starting today, eligible employers can submit their applications for salary subsidies for June. Applications must be submitted no later than June 13.<\/p>\n
The salary subsidy scheme for June contains two differences compared with the scheme for May:<\/p>\n
1. As explained in our email of May 7, the salary subsidy is essentially made up of two parts. One of those parts covers 60% of the SVB wages (but not beyond the SVB maximum of AWG 5,850), which is also the minimum portion of the gross wages that employers must continue to pay to their employees. A new requirement for June is that employers and employees must agree in writing to a 20% or greater reduction for short-time working. Therefore, the portion of the gross wages that employers must continue to pay to their employees is between 60% and 80% (not 100%). The SVB\u2019s online portal contains a template for an agreement (\u201cAgreement to Reduce Working Hours\u201d), showing the names and identification numbers of all employees (according to the information registered with the SVB on March 15, 2020). This agreement must be signed by both the employer and its employees, and must indicate the reduced percentage of the working hours (between 60% and 80). The employer must then upload the signed agreement into the SVB\u2019s online portal. Although the SVB has stated in an information leaflet that the agreement must be signed by all employees (implying that the employer cannot claim any salary subsidy at all if one or more of its employees do not sign), it can be inferred from the template and from information provided by the SVB in a press conference that the agreement may be uploaded with signatures missing, and that the salary subsidy will then be paid only for the employees who have signed the agreement (and not for the employees whose signatures are missing).<\/p>\n
2. The salary subsidy is subject to the SVB wage limit (AWG 5,850); no salary subsidy is paid for the portion of an employee\u2019s wages in excess of this limit. However, the total costs of the salary subsidy scheme may not exceed the total amount that the Government of Aruba has budgeted for June (AWG 49.4 million). If the total cost of all applications made for June would exceed this amount, the limit will be reduced in order to keep the total cost within budget. This could mean that less salary subsidy will be paid to employers that have employees who earn salaries close to or in excess of the SVB wage limit. <\/p>\n
Please note that the requirements explained in our email of May 7 remain in place for June also. This includes the requirement that the wage tax and social security premiums on June wages must be paid on time, i.e., before July 15.<\/p>\n

Estimado cliente,<\/p>\n
A partir de hoy, los empleadores elegibles pueden presentar sus solicitudes de subsidios salariales para junio. Las solicitudes deben presentarse a m\u00e1s tardar el 13 de junio.<\/p>\n
El esquema de subsidio salarial para junio contiene dos diferencias en comparaci\u00f3n con el esquema de mayo:<\/p>\n
1. Como se explica en nuestro correo electr\u00f3nico del 7 de mayo, el subsidio salarial se compone esencialmente de dos partes. Una de esas partes cubre el 60% de los salarios de SVB (pero no m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del m\u00e1ximo de SVB de 5,850 AWG), que tambi\u00e9n es la porci\u00f3n m\u00ednima de los salarios brutos que los empleadores deben continuar pagando a sus empleados. Un nuevo requisito para junio es que los empleadores y los empleados deben acordar por escrito una reducci\u00f3n del 20% o m\u00e1s para el trabajo de corta duraci\u00f3n. Por lo tanto, la parte de los salarios brutos que los empleadores deben continuar pagando a sus empleados es entre 60% y 80% (no 100%). El portal en l\u00ednea de la SVB contiene una plantilla para un acuerdo (\u00abAcuerdo para reducir las horas de trabajo\u00bb), que muestra los nombres y los n\u00fameros de identificaci\u00f3n de todos los empleados (de acuerdo con la informaci\u00f3n registrada en la SVB el 15 de marzo de 2020). Este acuerdo debe estar firmado tanto por el empleador como por sus empleados, y debe indicar el porcentaje reducido de las horas de trabajo (entre 60% y 80%). Luego, el empleador debe cargar el acuerdo firmado en el portal en l\u00ednea de la SVB. Aunque la SVB ha declarado en un folleto informativo que el acuerdo debe ser firmado por todos los empleados (lo que implica que el empleador no puede reclamar ning\u00fan subsidio salarial si uno o m\u00e1s de sus empleados no firman), puede deducirse de la plantilla y de la informaci\u00f3n proporcionada por el SVB en una conferencia de prensa de que el acuerdo puede cargarse con firmas faltantes, y que el subsidio salarial se pagar\u00e1 solo para los empleados que han firmado el acuerdo (y no para los empleados cuyas firmas faltan).<\/p>\n
2. El subsidio salarial est\u00e1 sujeto al l\u00edmite salarial de SVB (5,850 AWG); no se paga ning\u00fan subsidio salarial por la parte del salario de un empleado que excede este l\u00edmite. Sin embargo, los costos totales del esquema de subsidio salarial no pueden exceder el monto total que el Gobierno de Aruba ha presupuestado para junio (49,4 millones de AWG). Si el costo total de todas las solicitudes realizadas para junio excede esta cantidad, el l\u00edmite se reducir\u00e1 para mantener el costo total dentro del presupuesto. Esto podr\u00eda significar que se pagar\u00e1 menos subsidio salarial a los empleadores que tienen empleados que ganan salarios cercanos o superiores al l\u00edmite salarial de SVB.<\/p>\n
Tenga en cuenta que los requisitos explicados en nuestro correo electr\u00f3nico del 7 de mayo siguen vigentes para junio tambi\u00e9n. Esto incluye el requisito de que el impuesto salarial y las primas de seguridad social de los salarios de junio se paguen a tiempo, es decir, antes del 15 de julio.<\/p>\n
