Conversely, the time for the new labor bill, which radically changes the “map” of employment in our country, as they “enriched” their “menu” is radically changing. ‘Flexible’ forms of work. In the Council of Ministers in early July, a new system will fall on the table – among other things – a new system ‘Settlement’ of working time, ‘Trial’ hires and “automation” Recruitment and redundancies. In particular, the latter paves the way for one day’s contracts.

The bill, in which the latest touches are now in, touches almost the entire spectrum of labor issues, from recruitment – redundancies, to hours and contracts.

It thus enriches the “menu” of flexible forms of work, establishes “trial” recruitments and allows for expressive recruitment – layoff procedures.

On -custom ‘contracts for one day’s employment

One of the reversals to come is that from now on (that is, after the change of changes) each recruitment can be done on the same day and the employee will be sufficient to accept the terms of mobile phone recruitment to immediately launch his employment.

In the departures, the procedure will be simplified, as it is considered to be abolished the 10 days of the absence of an employee – who will have to mediate with today’s data – in order for his not to be regarded as voluntary retirement and to allow him to be replaced with new recruitment.

Under the new regime, an employer will be able to replace an employee by someone else without a 10 -day period and without the retirement of the contract.

If, the recruitment and retirement procedures are automated- thereby “unleashing” the infamous “zero hours” or “custom contracts” contracts, which are contracts that will be made for employment of one, two or three days.

“Zero hours” contracts are in demand in focus and tourism, but in practice they do not apply although there is a voted legislative framework since last year.

The reason they did not go on is the lack of flexibility in the recruitment and retirement regime.

The arrangement of working time and ‘trial’ recruitments

With the flexible arrangement of working time on a weekly basis, businesses will be able to apply increased hours for a few days based on their needs and return their extra hours to their staff either with reduced hours, or with additional repo or license.

However, the average weekly working hours will remain at 40 hours while salaries will not be affected, as salaries will be the same in both increased and reduced working hours.

For example It can be agreed by the business and its employees, for 3 days of a week to work for 10 hours instead of 8 and for the other 2 days to work with a 5 -hour reduced day so that on a weekly basis the total time is 40 hours, but with fluctuations.

The weekly settlement can also be applied with overtime.

The possibility of recruitment for a six -month trial period is still established.

What reversals come to the job market

So, as mentioned above, and if nothing changes dramatically, there are – among other things – arrangements that establish a new work -time arrangement system that will allow it to increase and reduce it on a weekly basis, fast track recruitment and retirement of workers, through a specific application of employment terms or terms of employment or interruption of Forms for licenses, off -site travel, staff situations and more.

The new bill will emphasize:

a) Facilitating recruitment and deprivations by fast track procedures that will include accepting the terms of the employment contract or to terminate it via a mobile.

b) In the new system of arrangement of working time that will be permitted on a weekly basis with the consent of employees.

c) In simplifying the personnel table with the aim of removing it at a next stage.

d) In the abolition of the license book, as the absence times will go through the work history of workers through the digital card.

e) In flexible arrival and departure of employees for a period of 10 minutes without this period being recorded in the digital card system

f) In the abolition of the out -of -home work form, which will be registered on the digital card.
