Moreover contributions they will be asked to pay thousands concurrent employees what are they paid for service bulletinunless they have a salary of at least 1020 euros per month for their hired services.

His recent decision Ministry of Labor to increase the contributions of the self-employed by 9.6%, it also creates new data for those who are engaged in two or more occupations at the same time. The relevant law expressly states that in order to be exempt from paying double contributions, the employee must pay EFKA contributions at least at the level of the second insurance category of the self-employed. In practice, this means that the contributions must amount to, or even exceed, 276.31 euros, as they are now formed after the increase, from 252 euros, which were previously applied.

Since the employee has an obligation to insure both the supplementary pension and the lump sum, full exemption occurs if the first category of support and social security contributions from wages is also covered. Therefore, to EUR 276.31, EUR 42.76 of the first category for the subsidy and EUR 28.51 of the corresponding category for the lump sum must be added, for a total of EUR 71.27 of the EUR 68 that applied before the increase of 9 . 6%.

Additional burden if they do not have a salary of at least 1020 euros per month gross for their hired services.

Especially for employees who are simultaneously insured for the first time as self-employed or freelance workers, the total monthly contribution of the employee and employer to the basic pension and health must be at least the amount of the contribution of the first insurance category, i.e. 230.25. euros per month, from 210 euros, which was valid until recently.

It should, of course, be noted that employees who work simultaneously with the “block” have the opportunity to choose a higher insurance category of basic pension contributions. In this case, they will not have to pay the entire contribution, but the difference between it and the amount already paid for wage labor.

According to experts, the exemption is now achieved if the employee receives a gross salary of 1,020 euros per month, while in 2022 this limit was around 930 euros (gross). So, for example, an employee with a salary of 1,300 euros per month, as long as he is insured for self-employment in the 1st or 2nd insurance category, will not need to pay additional contributions for parallel insurance. On the contrary, if an employee receives 900 euros per month and chooses to be insured under the 3rd insurance category for his “joint” work, he will need to pay additional contributions for the second job, about 77.23 euros (68.76 euros for the main and 8. 47 euros for health). If the same employee, with a salary of 900 euros, chooses insurance for the first insurance category for the “block”, then he will have to pay the difference of 23.94 euros for the main insurance, and 9.43 for health, i.e. 33, 37 euros per month, additional fees.

As a reminder, the self-employed must choose an insurance category by Sunday 12 February. If they do not choose, they will remain in the insurance category they chose in 2022. As for parallel employment, the liquidation for 2021 has already been completed, and during the year it will be extended – at a faster pace, according to the FECA administration – into 2022 too.
