These provisions concern preferential treatment for civil servants with special status, prosecutors, judges and other categories of employees. The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection notes that harmonising these arrangements will reduce the burden on the state budget and minimise disparities between different categories of workers.
These provisions are set out in a draft bill proposing amendments to the Labour Code. As Logos Press previously reported, they will also involve changes to the duration of certain types of leave.
The Ministry also proposes to enshrine an employee’s right to be absent from work for a valid reason in the event of exceptional family circumstances.
The employer’s prior consent will not be required for this. The duration of such leave may not exceed one working day in each such instance and a total of three working days per year. Absence from work due to illness or an accident requiring the employee’s immediate presence will not be deducted from annual paid leave.
Furthermore, the current Article 126 of the Labour Code, which regulates the granting of additional unpaid leave to care for a child aged between 3 and 4 years, will be repealed.
