Υπ. Of Labor – amendment: Joint responsibility of contractor-subcontractor in case of non-payment of wages or contributions

A series of provisions within the competence of the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs are included in the multi-bill of the Ministry of Health that was submitted late last night in Parliament. In more detail, among others:

– Changes are introduced in the organizational structure of EFKA to improve its operational operation, especially with regard to the award of pensions. In particular, the responsibilities related to the award of pensions to former funds (especially those of the former Single Fund for Independent Employees-EBRD) are transferred to services of the Agency that presumably have know-how for their faster and more efficient award.

– On the one hand, the protection of the rights of posted workers in subcontracting chains is ensured, on the other hand, equal treatment between companies established in EU Member States and seconding workers to Greece in the context of subcontracting. In particular, for subcontracting chains and for the activities listed in the Annex to Directive 2014/67 / EU (mainly construction), the joint liability of the contractor and subcontractor to the posted worker for non-payment of the prescribed remuneration or contributions is limited. liability for employee rights arising from the contractual relationship between contractor and subcontractor. The ultimate goal is to avoid unfair competition and abuse of the rights of those posted.

– It is proposed to extend the entry into force of the OAED Organization Chart by six months, because the process of modernization of OAED is in the final stage, according to the Commission’s guidelines, in order to achieve the optimal absorption and utilization of available resources for training and in general for its purposes. In addition, the increased needs for management know-how under the Recovery Fund make it necessary to provide for targeted reinforcement of the Organization with staff.

– The technical issue created after the enactment (with article 60 of Law 4808/2021) is resolved as additional days of mandatory holiday of January 1 and Epiphany (January 6). Based on the existing legal framework, the remuneration to which employees are entitled to employment during public holidays (75% increase in legal remuneration) is regulated, inter alia, by n.d. 3755/1957, the provisions of which, however, do not include the two additional days of compulsory holiday. The proposed provision complements the relevant provisions.
