LABOR CONTRACT REFORM: EMPLOYEMENT PROMOTION BY PRECARIOUSNESS AGAIN

In the present article we study the news about changes in contract modalities under the 2012 Labour Reform. A new modality of indefinite employment contract has been presented to boost entrepreneurs, to tackle new companies with less than fifty workers (small-medium enterprises), with the peculiarity that in such contracts there is a probationary period that lasts the first year. With such regulation the equilibrium has been broken between the already established company's freedom and labour rights. This situation sacrifices the worker's protection and guarantees of the non-justified dismissal to allow more flexibility for companies or the employer. The regulation of the temp-job employment contract has been modified to allow that these workers, besides that they can work extra-hours; can make extraordinary working hours, again providing flexibility to the regulation of the temp-job employment contracts to the needs of companies. Finally, telework it's regulated also, and replaces the traditional employment contract with work done at home to allow new regulation under a framework as such of telework.
