The Ministry of Labour has reached an agreement with CCOO and UGT to extend death leave
The agreement would extend leave for the death of a relative from two to 10 working days. The Ministry of Labour will negotiate with parliamentary groups to ensure the adoption of the rule.
The Ministry of Labour has concluded an agreement with CCOO and UGT to extend leave for the death of a family member to 10 working days and to implement two new permits: one to 15 working days for family members in palliative care; and one day for euthanasia assistance.
There are currently two days of death leave, which may be extended to four days if the journey is to be made.
After agreement with the trade unions, the Ministry of Labour will negotiate with the parliamentary groups to ensure that it gets the necessary support for the adoption of the rules, but the Secretary of State for Employment, Joaquín Pérez Rey, has been convinced that it will have the support of the majority, "a need felt by the whole of Spanish society".
The Secretary of State regrets that employers have "excluded" themselves from the agreement for "calculations that are not understood but have nothing to do with productivity, absenteeism or the culture of effort."
Last week the Ministry of Labour concluded negotiations with CEOE and Cepyme after refusing to change the licence for mourning and the implementation of two new permits, mainly because of the cost to entrepreneurs.
"The employers should be here and that is not the case," said Pérez Rey, who has urged the CEOE to "stop harassing sick workers," while regretting "how such a great lack of sensitivity to people who have the worst time can be shown."
The agreement includes technical improvements
The agreement is essentially a proposal put forward by the Government from the outset, with which the trade unions agreed, but technical improvements have been added to prevent the drafting of the rule from being subject to interpretation in the courts, if any.
UGT's Secretary of Occupational Health, Patricia Ruiz, said at a press conference following her meeting at the Ministry of Labour that these permits "are a necessity in the face of a legal anomaly" and considered the "great lack of sensitivity" shown by business organizations in this negotiation to be unfortunate.
CCOO's Secretary of Trade Union Action, Javier Pacheco, has described these permits as an "exercise in humanity" for the 18 million employees that Spanish companies have on their staff and has reproached their representatives for the obstacles they have put in the way of preventing them from moving forward at the social dialogue table.
