Spain Regions support remote working

The COVID impact on mobility has led the Autonomous Communities to approve aid for teleworking. For this reason, most of the Autonomous Communities have endowed budget items, already available, to support teleworking for freelancers and SMEs. Here are some examples of the types and amounts of aid and links to the pages where you can check the details.

Madrid

The Comunidad de Madrid has approved the new "Subsidies for the promotion of CSR and work-life balance". The second of these encourages teleworking and flexible working hours. It is mainly oriented to the acquisition of the necessary means to be able to telework. The amount of the subsidy is 2.500€ per worker with a maximum limit of 10.000€ per company and 75% of the cost of the electronic equipment to be acquired.

Extremadura

Also Junta de Extremadura offers grants to SMEs and self-employed for the promotion of teleworking with a limit of €6,000. These aids are granted under the heading "Aids for the implementation of teleworking solutions and digital entrepreneurship in companies in the Autonomous Community of Extremadura".

Andalucía

The Junta de Andalucía grants direct, non-refundable subsidies for the implementation of teleworking ranging from 35% of the eligible investment up to 50%, with a maximum of 75,000 euros.

Castilla La Mancha

In the case of the Junta de Castilla La Mancha, the deadline has been opened until September 30, for the application of this type of aid. The amount of the subsidy is set at 700 euros for each transformation of face-to-face jobs into teleworking jobs and 3,000 euros for each new hiring of a teleworking job.

These are some of the aids that have been approved by the Autonomous Regions to promote teleworking, but by no means the only ones. And they are already open and can be applied for.
