The self-employed group is made up of thousands of hard-working people who run a business with their family. A blood company that has the purpose of becoming the inheritance of the descendants. However, in most cases, the future owners of the business become the wards of the real owners before taking the reins. But how should they be hired?
There are many ideas about the right way to hire a family member. However, depending on the way in which it will carry out its activity, different problems may arise that are a burden for the business.
Specifically, the type of contract will be determined by the employee’s family relationship, as well as the requirements of their situation so that they fit into the RETA or the General Regime. However, there is a specific figure for this type of case: self-employed collaborator.
What is a self-employed collaborator?
The self-employed collaborator is a worker who carries out his activity in charge of a self-employed worker. In fact, this figure is really particular, since for Social Security it is a self-employed worker and for the Tax Agency it is an employee.
This figure is very interesting for the employer, since it involves a series of bonuses compared to a common employee or a TRADE. However, in order to become a self-employed collaborator, a series of conditions must be met.
Requirements to be a self-employed worker
– Family relationship: must be a spouse, descendant, ascendant or any other type of relationship with the self-employed employer, up to the second degree of consanguinity.
– Habituality: it cannot be a punctual collaboration; On the contrary, it must imply continuity in the job.
– Share work center.
– The family member must reside in the same address as the self-employed person and be in their charge.
– Not be registered as an employee.
– Be unemployed and registered at the employment office.
– Be at least 16 years old.
Bonuses for hiring a self-employed collaborator
As a starting point, it must be understood that this figure is designed for the common good of the business, understanding that the benefits of the company will go to the entire family unit.
This is the reason why there is no specific remuneration for the collaborating self-employed person, as well as the fact that the bonuses are not for the employer, but for the worker himself, since in most cases the Social Security contributions will be paid by the own contracting self-employed. A very clear example may be that of a father who introduces his son to the business.
Specifically, the bonuses are:
– Bonus of 50% of the self-employed quota during the 18 months after registration.
– Bonus of 25% from month 19 to 24.
For this to happen, the worker cannot have been registered with the RETA in the immediately preceding five years.
