Do you know the main points of the new labor reform?

On December 31, 2021, the new labor reform came into force, and that is why in this post we want to explain the main points it contains, taking into account that the text complies with the commitments made with the European Union.

A very important point is that of Collective Bargaining, since the fact that the conditions established in a collective agreement will continue to be in force, even after its express validity ends, is recovered; in this point, the prevailing wage of the company agreement is also repealed, in order to avoid agreements that may go down in matters of wage matters.

Another very noteworthy point is that of stable hiring, since the contract for work and service disappears, and the contracts are assumed to be concluded for an indefinite period, and in this way the available hiring modalities are reduced.

There will only be a contract of a certain duration, which may be made due to production circumstances, or to replace the worker. In order to prepare this type of contract, it will be necessary to specify very clearly the enabling cause of the temporary hiring, as well as the specific circumstances that justify it, and its connection with the expected duration.

On the other hand, the fixed discontinuous contract must be concluded for seasonal work, seasonal productive activities, or also those that do not have this nature but that, being of intermittent provision, have certain, determined and indeterminate execution periods.

Subcontracting will be carried out whenever there is an applicable sectoral collective agreement, which may be that of the activity developed by the main company, or another if so determined by the sectoral collective bargaining within its general rules.
