This Thursday (14) unanimously approved a project that allows the rehiring of retired employees to work in specific research, scientific and technological development or innovation programs. The text aims to respond to the request of researchers who are compulsorily retired upon turning 75. The project is now being analyzed by the Federal Government.
The text deals with employees of public consortiums, public companies, mixed-capital companies and their subsidiaries and maintains the obligation, provided for in the pension reform, to be compulsory at age 75. If employees do not have the minimum contribution time, they may remain in their positions until they reach the requirement.
The proposal also specifies that compulsory retirement does not extinguish due labor rights, such as vacation and thirteenth payments. (Supreme Federal Court) and will be decided with the vote of the minister who replaces Luís Roberto Barroso.
The approved version of the project was prepared by rapporteur Bia Kicis (PL-DF), who proposed allowing the hiring of retirees by entities with which they had ties, “including for their conception [de projetos]continuity, conclusion, transfer of knowledge or preservation of specialized technical knowledge, as long as a legal hypothesis of direct contracting is established due to the unenforceability of bidding based on notorious specialization”.
The author of the text, deputy Luiz Carlos Hauly (PODE-PR), stated that the project seeks to meet a demand from researchers and scientists, especially from Embrapa (Brazilian Agricultural Research Company) Soya.
“It is a public company that is a source of pride for all of us Brazilians and that helped make Brazil the largest food producer in the world”, he argued. Hauly’s initial proposal allowed employees linked to the aforementioned areas not to retire compulsorily, which was changed.
“Valuing researchers who have given their lives throughout their history to help in the development of important research for Brazil and the world is fundamental”, said deputy João Daniel (PT-SE).
