Labor Minister <a href="https://time.news/ministry-of-labor-inspects-the-tse-for-late-payments/" title="Ministry of Labor inspects the TSE for late payments”>Rolando Castro announced that the meeting’s purpose is to unveil details of the Municipal Administrative Career Law, which regulates labor within mayor’s offices. Representatives from 35 of the country’s 44 municipalities are in attendance.
Castro explained that previously, the Municipal Administrative Career Law was governed by the now-defunct ISDEM. Now, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Labor.
It is crucial for employees to be aware of this Law to safeguard their well-being and improve working conditions.
Castro highlighted a significant achievement in favor of workers: the elimination of fraudulent contracts and the establishment of a maximum three-month trial period for contracts.
The Labor Minister emphasized that any public official who violates the law may face legal and even criminal consequences.
