Continuing on from last month, now that you know the various types of contracts available to potential employees, the next step is to learn how to set one up. A code is required from the Social Security office to allow you to hire. From there as the employer, you become responsible for informing them of any new, cancelled or modified contracts and each month you must pay an additional Social Security contribution for that contract (an amount equivalent to approximately 40% of the employee’s salary), however your asesor can check to see if any reductions apply depending on the contract and the employee’s circumstances.
