An extension of smart working for fragile workers is coming. "The Ministry of Labor - explains the minister Marina Calderone in reply to a question from the Democratic Party in the Senate - will support any initiative aimed at extending at least a quarterly" agile work for the fragile.
The dossier is on the table of the ministries concerned to understand even the more technical aspects but the minister comes the commitment to a "favorable opinion" on the intervention. Among the amendments to the milleproroghe decree, under discussion in the Senate, several have as their object the question of smart working .
THE PROPOSALS – The Dems propose, among other things, the extension from 31 March (as currently envisaged) to 30 June. The Five Star Movement, on the other hand, goes up to 31 December and also extends for the frail who cannot carry out the task in an agile way of equating periods of absence with hospitalization, excluding them from the period of to which the subordinate worker absent due to illness has the right to keep his job).
The same proposal is also contained in an amendment by the Brothers of Italy. M5s also proposes the extension of the simplified telematic communication procedure for workers in the private sector, therefore without the need to sign the individual agreement. In short, there is pressure, especially from the opposition.
"It would be very serious - warns the leader of the Democratic Party in the Senate Simona Malpezzi - if the government did not do what Minister Calderone declared in the Chamber". "We hope that the government will not remain inert - Orfeo Mazzella and Barbara Guidolin say from M5s - in the face of the need to safeguard the health of thousands of citizens ".
However, how the match will end will be seen next week when the voting on the milleproroghe begins in the Senate committee where, among other things, amendments by the rapporteurs and the government are expected. The decree passed at the beginning of the year for the extension of the health payback to April will certainly flow into the measure.
