How the Labor Reform affects me: working conditions

Labor conditions have also been affected by the Labor Reform . All the reforms adopted came into effect on February 12, 2012, however, it is currently unknown which of these measures will be confirmed, suppressed or modified in parliament. Because from .com we want you to be well informed, we present how the Labor Reform affects you in terms of working conditions .

Flexibility and Training

One of the first changes in terms of labor conditions of this Labor Reform is for the flexibility and training of the worker. It is recognized as the right of the worker to receive training to adapt to changes in the job and to promote their employability, at the expense of the company. The right of the worker is incorporated to 20 hours per year (cumulative for a period of up to three years) of paid leave for training linked to the job, whose enjoyment will be fixed by mutual agreement with the employer.

Functional mobility and professional classification

Another change in working conditions talks about mobility and professional classification. It becomes more flexible since we only find ourselves with professional groups, disappearing the mention of professional category.

Geographical mobility

The new Labor Reform also brings changes in terms of geographical mobility. The justification for the transfer is made more flexible, considering those related to competitiveness, productivity and technical organization or work in the company. The intervention of the labor authority is eliminated once the measure has been agreed upon.

Working time

More flexibility for the employer also in this work condition . In the absence of agreement, the employer will have the power to distribute irregularly 5% of the working day throughout the year, depending on their production needs.

Temporary Disability and Holidays

The Labor Reform 2012 also tries to regulate this condition . It is expected that in the event that the vacation coincides with a temporary disability arising from contingencies other than maternity, the worker may enjoy them after the period of temporary disability. This is so as long as 18 months have not elapsed since the end of the year in which they originated.
