translated from Spanish: Government proposes “average salary” per year as compensation to every event in 11 years

the Government proposed an alternative system of compensation for years of service, with which the employee would receive average monthly salary per year of service or, unlike the present one which is one month for each year with a maximum of 11 salaries. This alternative, with a maximum of 11 years, that is to all events, i.e., by resignation or dismissal is evaluated in order to call ” labor modernization”that drives the Executive, a reform that is expected to occur in March, and although the employee worked less than one year in a company, as reported by the newspaper “El Mercurio”. The proposal would voluntarily apply to new contracts and “intended that the worker have the option of compensation to all events, but for half that, half-month a year”, said economist Joseph Ramos, who is a member of the Committee that drafted the proposal. From the business community, such as the National Chamber of Commerce or the Chilean Chamber of construction, agreed that will allow that there is greater mobility in the labour market, although from Asimet expressed that the alternative system will increase the cost of hand of work. While from the National Board of the single Confederation of workers of Colombia (CUT), Horacio Fuentes accused that it is a regressive measure because the only thing that makes is “lowering the dismissal”, as exhibited in the morning.
