What is "flexible employment"? Who are the main groups of flexible employment?

Flexible employees are often called freelancers. It mainly refers to individuals who are engaged in flexible occupations based on labor services and have no fixed employers. For example, housekeeping, maintenance, freelance writers, designers, legal service providers, models, singers, self-media personnel and so on around our community. In addition, public welfare posts and community service personnel recruited by the government are actually a special form of flexible employment. The main feature of the flexible employment group is that it has income, but there is no fixed labor relations unit. If the employer fails to pay social insurance premiums for people with labor relations in accordance with the regulations, it is illegal, and workers can defend their rights.

In principle, flexible employees, individual industrial and commercial households and part-time workers all belong to similar groups. According to the provisions of the Social Insurance Law, flexible employees, individual industrial and commercial households without employees, and part-time workers who are not insured in the unit can bear all social insurance premiums and participate in basic old-age insurance and basic medical insurance.

The state has no special care policy for ordinary flexible employees in terms of insurance participation, but because the state encourages everyone to start their own businesses. The parties who choose flexible employment can apply for one-time business start-up subsidies through the establishment of individual industrial and commercial households; If small and micro enterprises are established, the subsidies will generally be higher. For example, in Qingdao, the one-time start-up subsidy is 6,543,800 yuan, but it must continue to operate for more than two years. Small and micro enterprises recruit more people, and each position can also enjoy a job development subsidy of 2,000 yuan.

In addition, due to the lack of funds, it is difficult for entrepreneurs to start a business. The state also gives small enterprises guaranteed loans and discount policies. If you apply for a business start-up guarantee loan, the corresponding loan interest will be subsidized by the state, which is equivalent to an individual getting an interest-free loan for two to three years. Of course, these secured loans also need to provide counter-guarantee measures. The amount of specific loans depends on local policies. For example, the amount of discount loans for individual industrial and commercial households in Qingdao can reach 450,000, and some enterprises that meet special conditions can even reach several million.

In addition to ordinary employees who are employed flexibly, there are actually some special groups called people with employment difficulties.

The standards of people with employment difficulties vary slightly from place to place, but they generally include the disabled, the elderly or the long-term unemployed (4050 people), urban zero-employment family members, low-income family workers, single-parent families, college graduates with employment difficulties, etc.

People with employment difficulties can enjoy public welfare posts or public welfare posts developed by government departments, and get vocational skills training and skill appraisal services free of charge. The government will also give certain preferential policies such as business tax reduction and exemption, social security subsidies and job subsidies to people with employment difficulties.

Social security subsidies may be the content that everyone cares about. Generally speaking, the subsidy standards in different places are actually different. However, under normal circumstances, flexible employees are given a certain premium subsidy when they join the insurance, and the time is generally not more than 36 months. I didn't apply for the first time until I retired.
