Specifically for the year 2021, for the definition of a job as seasonal, it is stipulated that for the period of the calendar year in which it does not work, it does not employ staff that exceeds 27% of the average staff, which is employed during the peak period of its activity (instead of 25% which is the general provision).
This amendment is exceptional for the year 2021, as the extreme weather conditions and especially the frost that took place last spring caused the lack of raw materials in seasonal enterprises, such as those related to canning, processing, packaging and sorting of agricultural products. products, etc., as a result of which they employ less seasonal staff than in previous years and risk that employees will not be eligible for unemployment benefits, as they do not exceed the number of permanent staff employed in such companies.
