The Government will establish a program to turn social plans into genuine employmentwith the agreement of the business sectors that will hire the staff and will partially face the payment of salaries, official sources ratified this Sunday.
The project, which is intended to initially benefiting about 200 thousand peoplewas prepared by the team of the Minister of Economy, Serge Massaand is called “Job Bridge” for the “Transformation of Plans, Social Programs and Benefits of the Social Security in Formal Work of Quality”, confirmed sources of that portfolio.
The initiative is that “holders of current national employment and social programs who are hired by an employer and who comply with the training and training courses that are established (depending on the type of employment) may continue to receive the benefits and benefits that grant these programs for 1 (one) year and the employer will complete the rest to reach the agreement salary,” the sources explained.
They also stressed that “the program ‘Employment Bridge’ would be established by DNU to give it greater legal certainty“.
The project intends to initially benefit about 200 thousand people.
The current initiative provides that “The worker temporarily maintains the stability of the plan for 1 (one) year. After a year the worker must decide whether to maintain the plan or opt for formal work with social work, ART and all the benefits of being in the labor market ( future compensation).
Regarding the benefits for employers, “for 1 (one) year the State takes care of part of the salary (the part of the plan that is maintained),” added the Economy spokespersons.
The “Bridge to Employment” program, they stressed, “aims to incorporate 200,000 workers from the social economy.”
“Fundamentally, it is sought that the incorporations occur in employers of up to 100 workers, which are 98% of all employers according to the latest statistics published by the Social Security Bulletin as of May,” they added.
This program, the sources said, “allows progress in sectors of the economy where many times the fear of losing the plan makes the person not want to join the formal labor market, such as citrus, blueberry, construction, rural workers, tobacco and other regional economies”.
The details to finish designing the “Employment Bridge” plan were analyzed by experts from Massa’s economic team last Friday in a meeting that lasted until early Saturday morning. There were also meetings on Saturday and this Sunday, including in the offices of the Renovating Front led by the minister, on Avenida del Libertador at 800.
Shortly after being designated in Economy, Massa said that the Government is going to work on the reordering of social plans. In this sense, he anticipated this project for which “He who has a plan joins a company and keeps the plan as a base for a year” while the employer “pays the difference of the salary of the agreement plus the ART and the social work”.
“On social plans, we will face a reorganization policy during the next 12 months, focusing on three axes: return to the labor market, strengthening of cooperatives, and protection in the event of situations of vulnerability,” he stated on that occasion.
In October of last year, when he was president of the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation, Massa presented a bill with the same objective: to turn social plans into genuine employment.
“We are promoting a tool that allows SMEs, provinces, municipalities and popular economy actors to take the plan as part of the salary and that the worker has access to social work, the retirement contribution and his insurance “, he then explained in a video, when he presented the project.
