Order of psychologists is concerned about the famous draft government over labor laws. Leave five priorities in your proposals.
The already famous draft law of Labor Legislation Reform continues to give to speak. After several public voices against OE after several in the last two Saturdays, it was the turn of the Order of Portuguese Psychologists (OPP) Approach the subject.
In a statement sent to ZAP, OPP begins by revealing its “Manifest concern” with several of the changes in the draft current government.
“Some proposals represent a backwardness In view of the legislation currently in force and do not take into account available scientific evidence or international recommendations, ”he warns.
Therefore, the Order of Psychologists handed over an opinion to the government last Tuesday, with 5 priorities in the general recommendations: license at least 6 monthspay a 100%; possibility of temporary time reduction up to 5 years of the child; parental licenses partial and flexible; tax incentives to companies that promote conciliation; public campaigns of literacy about parenting and mental health.
Dividing by four areas, the OPP focuses first in the very contested end of the, in the current figure currently: guarantees 3 days of justified absences. Psychologists want more than the maintenance of this article-they argue that justified absences should extend to a maximum of 20 days (equipable to lose a child already born).
About parental license, The Order of Psychologists thinks that Parental License should be 6 months and paid 100% to all. “Without conditioning, promoting equity and child well-being”.
In dismissal for or breastfeeding, the OPP considers that the proposal to limit it to the 2 years of the child is “unwrapped and contrary to scientific evidence and the recommendations of WHO and UNICEF, defending the maintenance of current law” – dismissal throughout the breastfeeding period, and medical certificate only after 12 months.
The Order of Psychologists is against restrictions on Flexibility of schedules For workers who have children up to 12 or with chronic disability/disease. It hopes that the advertised restrictions will not be imposed, having the right to adjust to the “nature of functions” and the operation of the company.
“OPP reaffirms that legislating about work is to legislate on health, human development and social justice. The draft, in its current form, puts these pillars at risk,” concludes the statement.
