Permission for the death of a relative may be granted within four weeks of the death of the relative
The death permit which the Spanish Ministry of Labour intends to extend to ten days may be granted within four weeks of the death of the relative.
This is stated inthe proposal submitted by the Ministry of Labour to the social partners, which specifies that 10 working days of leave for mourning may be granted in the event of the death of the spouse, common-law partner or relatives up to the second degree of consanguinity, as the sources have advanced on Monday.
This includes children, grandchildren and grandparents, and may be granted within four weeks of the delivery of the remains of the deceased or deceased.
On the other hand, the two current days of leave for the death of a relative up to the second degree of affinity (four days if displacement is necessary) shall be maintained, including the brothers-in-law and grandparents of the spouse.
The proposal also specifies a new permit for palliative care , which will last up to 15 days, provided that such care affects the spouse, common-law partner or other second-degree blood relatives.
This permit may consist of a reduction in working hours, which may be divided into two periods, but only once per patient and always within a maximum period of three months from the beginning of the enjoyment, for which only a medical report justifying the situation of palliative care will be required.
Another novelty of the work proposal is the permit to assist a person when he or she is going to receive euthanasia, which shall be granted in one day, that is, on the day of its administration, and shall be granted to any worker who has appointed him or her to assist him or her, whether or not there is a kinship.
The announcement of these permits a couple of weeks ago by the Minister of Labour, Yolanda Díaz, was described by the President of CEOE, Antonio Garamendi , as an "occurrence" because it was raised before the media and without prior social dialogue, which the trade unions also reproached the Ministry for, despite assessing the progress in rights.
