Today I met a friend for some time that he saw, and I will not put the name to not engage it, a small businessman who is dedicated to issues related to reforms and masonry specialist and the hard time is going to keep his company afloat and, incidentally, the use of their employees. I asked as I was, and told me that in addition to already is affecting the crisis, with falling sales and difficulties in collecting the work, is joined by "Chapucillas": people who have lost their jobs and are unemployed, collecting unemployment benefits and also works "in black."
- "But it will be a few odd jobs to supplement the limited subsidy, right?" - I say, trying to justify quasi-illegal work of someone who may need the money.
- "A few odd jobs?" - He responds with sarcasm. And then I explain what has happened just about two or three days:
- "an employee approached me and says' Hey, could you do me a favor?" 'Sure', I say, 'What is it? " 'Then I would get me fired ... " "
Naturally, my friend is checked. What advantage is that you fired, with which it is falling? And the explanation is as follows:
The employee's father worked as a bricklayer and is now unemployed, receiving benefit , but has not stood still. has been looking for work "black" to do, and should be good, because it has so much work that has sought help from his son, an employee of my friend, to work with him. And the father has suggested that you ask my friend to say goodbye, even denying compensation, about fixing the roles of unemployment, and charge unemployment benefits while working "in black" with her father.
are that kind of "quick fixes" that are affecting the business of my friend, while you pay your taxes, social security, their income tax, etc. The "handyman" not only do not declare anything or pay their own insurance or of its employees, but are above the dole.
And, of course, can not compete on price with people who no impact, because you do not, those insurance costs or taxes in the price of their services. And such activities are not rare, but quite the contrary, they are finding, when it will provide a budget, the client shows much cheaper budgets of these "quick fixes" ... How
resist?
