As of this day, registration is open for the Productive Reactivation Program 2 (Repro 2) as well as the Emergency Assistance Program for Independent Workers in critical sectors, for salaries earned this month, as provided the Ministry of Labor of the Nation.

The measure is state aid for the payment of part of the wages of people who work in these sectors. Those who can access the benefit are companies from critical, non-critical affected and hotel sectors that in the last three years have had a nominal variation in their turnover of less than 123.5% (30% drop in real terms), which in the case of the health sector rises to 219.1% (without real variation), in line with the accumulated inflation in that period.

For this, all employers must have updated the data of their workers in the AFIP Registry Simplification portal, especially the uniform bank codes (CBU) of the accounts where the benefit will be granted. The lack of information or error in the data of the workers, will cause the cancellation of the payment to them.

The deadline for the closing of the inscription was established for March 30.
