Murielle Messerli (30) lucky in misfortune: The Bernese Coiffeuse had to at 17. March close your Salon. But at least you can Corona-the purchase of a replacement request. This belongs to the billions in aid, with the help of the Federal company in existence needs, reaches under the arms. Not only with loans, but also when income fails.
Depending on the legal form of the operation, the support can be different. Since the short-time work compensation: the companies that due to Corona not work, can apply for short-time working for employees. Also, the entrepreneurs can seek to short-time work – if you are employee in your own company. You will receive a flat fee of 3320 francs.
Strict rules when purchasing a replacement
on The other, there is the Corona-the purchase of a replacement for the self-employed, the lead to a single company. Because you can not apply for a short-time work, because they receive no actual wages and not in the unemployment insurance Deposit.
The Corona-substitute employment is a maximum of 196 Swiss francs of the day. He is subject to conditions: In the enjoyment of only the self-employed who had to close their business on the orders of the Federal Council, or because of the event of a ban, can no longer come to work. Or a free-lance artist, whose Engagements have been cancelled due to Corona. Also, who needs to take care of because of the school closures, children under the age of twelve, and is unable to work, may apply for and purchase a replacement. This is also true for those individual entrepreneurs, which were inserted by the doctor in quarantine.
Many remain on the track
That means in reverse: Many micro-entrepreneurs to stay on track. To a physiotherapist Moritz, G.* (43) belongs to. He has due to the Corona-lost measures, almost all of the customers. But he can’t close the therapy practice. He needs to urgently carry out the necessary treatments.
Also self-employed taxi drivers have bad luck: Because many are in the home office or in a Taxi, a contagion of fear, is missing from the clientele. Not a better wedding photographer, the graphic artist and the instrument Builder was made.
hardship clause for very small companies seam to take
But hope: As Minister of economic Affairs, Federal councillor Guy Parmelin (60, SVP) promised that the Federal Council is in the process of “analyzing these cases of micro-enterprises”. VIEW-research shows that Parmelin plans, a hardship clause for SMEs. For this purpose, the criteria for the income replacement should be relaxed.
The Federal Council wants to discuss at its meeting on Wednesday. However, the hardship clause could put the government in front of challenges: How do you secure such a Ewer legally? Up to what limit you should let the Corona are affected apply? It takes an income or asset limit? To such questions, the Federal Council must find answers. He is presenting on Wednesday in a pan-ready concept, is unlikely.
Economists call for capital-syringe
And the loss of Income is only one side. The other is can wear, such as micro-entrepreneurs running costs – shop rent, insurance, loan interest.
The ETH-Economists Hans Gersbach and Jan-Egbert Sturm asking for a “short-time working Regime for the capital”. The Federal government will not reimburse the loss of Income, but also such costs. The risk of Insolvency and worry reduce the company money remains to invest again. So the economy could start to Corona again.
Coiffeuse Messerli would help. With the Corona-purchase replacement alone can pay for your livelihood and the Salon rent. Still, she falls back on Savings. However, after three months that would be used up well.
