This will be the new Statute of the Fellowship: compensation of expenses, limitation of practices and more control of companies
On Tuesday, the Council of Ministers approved, in the first round, the preliminary draft of the Statute of Persons in Practical Training Outside Work, known as the Statute of the Fellow, which aims to strengthen the protection of trainees in enterprises and institutions and to prevent abuses in such relations.
The second Vice-President and Minister of Labour, Yolanda Díaz, has explained that the aim is to "clearly define what training in Spain is and what rights it has". She has recalled that this group consists of 1.7 million people (one in ten workers), 22% of whom are over 30 years old.
Thetext seeks to guarantee compensation for expenses, the right to rest and holidays and to impose fines on companiesthat do not meet the requirements. In addition, it limits the number of persons in internship to 20 per cent and requires a guardian of five persons. The work must be adapted to the training plan and will not replace work functions.
Díaz describes this measure as "new generations" labor reform and calls on parliamentary groups to support it. Before the Statute enters into force, it will still have to pass the procedure approved by Congress.
Compensation of expenses and right to rest
Under the new Statute, trainees shall have the right to compensation for expenses, breaks, holidays arising from their activities and to receive the same services as other workers, such as canteens or rest rooms, and shall also be protected from situations of violence or harassment in the working environment.
Limits on compulsory practices and guardians
The rule sets a maximum limit of 20 per cent of a company's workforce for the number of persons in non-work training, and requires the appointment of a guardian of five fellows. The assigned tasks shall be adapted to the training plan and may not replace the functions of an employee.
Scope of application
The Statute includes practices relating to university studies, vocational training, artistic or sports teaching and specialties of the National Employment System, and regulates curricular and extracurricular practices.
More controls and inspections
The Labour and Social Security Inspectorate shall have access to all documentation relating to practices and shall carry out specific monitoring activities to ensure compliance with the new requirements by enterprises.
The text has yet to obtain sufficient support to pass the congressional procedure before it enters into force.
