THE START OF THE DIGITAL POSTCARD APPLICATION DOES NOT NEED TO BE EXTENDED
Honorable Minister Madam,
Initially, we wish to congratulate you on taking in your new duties and need you the perfect of luck in your tough activity.
As you’re nicely conscious, severe adjustments have been initiated in enterprise working procedures.
Within the context of the implementation of the digital work card, with round 37271/21-6-2024, issued late, and clarifying some points that stay unresolved, we perceive – as soon as once more – as a substitute of a venture that helps the system simpler and automatic. to function a enterprise, it burdens him with digital paperwork, and threatens him with exorbitant fines.
Observe that the software program corporations that present the corresponding utility instruments schedule the appointments at the least a month later.
Subsequently, most companies haven’t totally tailored to the required processes – and thru no fault of their very own.
You perceive that the introduction of the cardboard utility will result in unwarranted fines in a big a part of the market, resulting in the penalties – that are extreme.
Since any new enterprise requires loads of time for adjustment, group, readability and well timed selections, we ask for a calculated extension of the implementation begin time, with out penalties or fines, so that each one companies can easily adapt to the brand new information .
We level out that, as a result of adjustments which have come about by way of digital processes, corporations have already got insufferable and unreasonable burdens, prices, in lots of instances, in truth, they don’t have any accountability. For instance, we point out the duty to declare an emergency in case of lack of ability to speak with the platform, which we consider must be the obligation of the system in direction of the enterprise and never the opposite means round.
There may be an lack of ability to speak with the respective labor inspectors, ought to the corporate be told of this within the occasion of a technical or different drawback.
A assist line – web site contact type and drawback fixing must be created, with certified employees, as a result of many questions come up, but in addition technical points come up.
We look ahead to your speedy actions to make sure that companies run easily as they’re the spine of our nation’s financial system.
With worth,
Ioannis Hatzitheodosiou
