The disengagement project for Rio Negro state companies returned to internal analysis in the government of Alberto Weretilneck to incorporate modifications to the economic mechanism that will be offered in that call to withdraw from the provincial State.
The initiative was scheduled to be sent to the Legislature in the last week, but It was postponed due to a review of the originally planned design when it was realized that it would not generate the expected interest. among public agents.
The project will be submitted this week, after the definition of the “compensatory” scheme, but it has already been resolved that it would not be the advance of two variables, marked between public employees with less or more than 10 years of seniority, and consisting of payments of five or seven salaries, with partial continuity of their salary for one year.
This option was discarded as insufficient. But, the improvement would not reach that of the first draft, which provided for one and a half remuneration per year of service. This one-time outlay from the State was too much for the moment and, therefore, a lower cost is projected and the support of part of the assets is incorporated.
At the moment It is evaluated what that intermediate offer will be to raise to the Legislature, with a greater allocation (superior to the five and seven having thought) and, perhaps, a longer term in the deposit of part of your salary, with Ipross coverage. Another variable would be a broader scale of seniority ranges.
- 3135
- The number of the 1997 law, promoted by Verani, and which will be reformed for the new disengagement scheme.
- 1,200
- Agents -approximately- left the provincial State with that call.
As the base norm (Law 3,135, of 1997), the initiative will establish that The regime will be for regular staff and excludes those who are in a position to access the retirement benefit or “are up to five years away from meeting the age and service requirements for its granting.” Officials or higher authorities are also left out.
Specifically, the Weretilneck administration apart from possible adhesion to police, prisons and teachers.
The tax exemptions or benefits designed for those who access the separation would also be expanded. In principle, retirees who request tax registration in some activity will not pay Gross Income for a period and will have another 50% discount period. In the case of human or legal persons who hire unemployed workers within the year, they will enjoy a tax bonus.
Furthermore, it specifies the perpetual impossibility of the separated person returning to the State. The 1997 legislation established that the retiree could not “enter for a period of eight years” but this project states that “Agents who agree to voluntary separation will not be able to “return” to any of the human resources regimes in force in the provincial State, with the sole exception of elective positions.”
Parliamentary treatment is scheduled for mid-May, therefore, the legislative file should arrive in the coming days.
In Bariloche, the Minister of Government, Federico Lutz explained the project as “a response to a percentage of agents who feel that their belonging to the State has ended, and they are looking for alternatives in other sectors.” He denied the idea that “the Rio Negro State requires shrinking” but spoke of “greater efficiency and a transformation in the employment relationship.”
Instead, hours later, Weretilneck reaffirmed that the motivation is the reduction of personnel due to the existence of an “excess” staff and “ruling out” layoffs..
Then, he confirmed the intention to reduce the staff by reaffirming that the vacancies generated by the retirements will not be filled and those tasks must be “absorbed” by the rest, based on a “restructuring” that will be in charge of each area.
He also clarified that the State will reserve the right to deny the request for separation.
ATE says that “there are not too many” agents
The driving of ATE warned that the separation plan proposed by Alberto Weretilneck’s government could “affect the normal functioning of the State,” highlighting that “there are no excess personnel.”
The state union expressed concern about the “early departure for state employees” project in Río Negro.
Its general secretary Rodrigo Vicente recalled that “in the Province and the Nation we have already experienced processes of voluntary withdrawals, outsourcing and other mechanisms that only aim to shrink the State for the sake of shrinking itself.”
He denied that there are too many public agents but that, “on the contrary, there are areas where human resources are not enough. “Job stability in public employment – ATE added in its statement – is an inalienable right guaranteed in article 14 bis of the National Constitution.”
“The premise that shrinking the State can be beneficial is false. The reality is very different: each voluntary retirement process ended in failure and the State rehired personnel because those who had left were necessary,” Vicente continued.
