The compensatory increase from 12 to 14 days of base salary for collective layoffs announced by the government will cover the last nine years of work, and not just work done henceforth, contrary to what the business confederation has been promoting.
According to the national press, the 16.7 increase in compensation calculation will apply to collective layoffs or layoffs due to the disappearance of work.
“As part of an income agreement signed between the government, the employers’ confederations and the UGT, the PS parliamentary group proposes that redundancy compensation be equal to 14 days of basic pay and seniority for each full year of employment from October 1, 2013. (over the current 12 days),” PS MP Fernando José told Jornal de Negócios.
This means that if an employee is fired on the last day of 2023, has worked for seven years, and the law takes effect on the first day of that year, the employee is entitled to a severance pay equivalent to 14 days of base salary and an amount corresponding to each of the seven years, who worked for the same company.
The offer only applies to contracts signed after October 2013, without affecting transitional law 69/2013, which regulates previous contracts and is based on a 12-day period. However, “IU is available to improve the wording of the specialty, and it will be necessary to change the 12 provided for in law 69/2013 by 14 days,” the MP from the party assured.
