If I work in a family member’s business up to the second degree of relationship, can I receive unemployment benefits?
If you work in a business owned by a family member related to you by blood or marriage up to the second degree, and the business is run by an individual entrepreneur, you are not entitled to unemployment benefits if you live with that person and there is no evidence of a genuine employment relationship.
To assess this, all relevant factors will be considered together to determine whether an employment relationship exists: the actual period of work and social security contributions, any changes in the affiliation scheme, whether you belong to a different household, the existence of real and effective work, the closeness of the family relationship, or any previous entitlement to benefits following an earlier employment relationship with the same employer, among others.
However, you may be entitled to unemployment benefits if you do not live with your family member, if the business is a commercial or worker-owned company, and if you hold no shares in its capital.
You will not be entitled to unemployment benefits if the family member you live with holds at least 50% of the company’s share capital, unless there is evidence to the contrary. You may be entitled if that shareholding is below 50% or if you do not live with family members who hold that percentage.
If your father or mother are self-employed, they may hire you as an employee if you are under the age of 30, even if you live with them. In this case, you will not pay unemployment contributions and will not be covered for unemployment. However, if that employment ends, you may be able to prove a legal situation of unemployment and, provided you have sufficient previous contributions and meet the other requirements, you may be eligible for unemployment benefits or a subsidy for insufficient contributions.
If, once you turn 30, you continue working with your parents and both of you submit a joint declaration to the General Treasury of Social Security (one from the parent and one from you) stating that you are employed under an employment contract, you will then be able to start contributing for unemployment.
