elcorreo.com (13.05.2020) El Real Decreto-Ley disminuye las reducciones de cuotas de las que se beneficiaron durante marzo y abril muchas empresas acogidas a este tipo de expediente de regulación. A esas firmas se les exoneraba de abonar las cotizaciones sociales de sus trabajadores si tenían menos de 50 empleados, y se les reducía en un 75% a las que tuvieran plantillas superiores a esa cifra. Ahora el escenario es el siguiente: la reducción de las cotizaciones baja al 60% en mayo y al 45% en junio para las empresas pequeñas.
