All employees of the company, regardless of the number of hours they work, may be included in an employment regulation procedure.

However, where the reduction in working hours is due to statutory caregiving responsibilities (direct care of a child under 12 or of a person with a disability who does not carry out paid work), for the purposes of calculating the regulatory base, contribution bases will be increased to 100% of the amount that would have applied had the employee continued working, without any reduction, on a full‑time or part‑time basis. If the legal unemployment situation arises while the employee is in this reduced‑hours arrangement, the minimum and maximum amounts will be determined taking into account the public income index based on the number of hours worked before the reduction in working time.

Example: a full‑time employee who reduces their working hours to 50% in order to care for a child under 12 during the year prior to the suspension of the employment contract under a temporary employment regulation procedure. The contribution bases for the last six months are €1,000.00 per month.
In this case, the benefit will be paid on the basis of a monthly contribution of €2,000, and the amount will be set with no reduction applied, as the employee was working 100% of their hours before the statutory reduction in working time.
