Madrid (EFE) from this month of October.
Negotiations for this rule, which began in April of last year and which seeks to regulate the rights of trainees, have taken longer than initially planned in order to reach an agreement between all parties.
The approval of this regulation seeks to end the fraud behind internships and scholarships, especially in extracurricular ones (those that are not linked to any regulated training), one of the main stumbling blocks for the agreement.
In fact, the Government managed to close a principle of agreement with the unions in October last year on a text that was later modified on that point of the extracurriculars to try to attract the employers.
In that pact with the unions it was established that they would only be possible when they formed part of the curricular contents for obtaining official titles.
For the rest of the internships, the training contracts regulated in the labor reform (article 11 of the Workers’ Statute) should be used, which are alternating training or the acquisition of professional practice.
The new government proposal would make this ban on non-curricular practices somewhat more flexible, according to sources in the negotiation.
The unions expressed their doubts about the change and, after the last meeting on March 30, the parties are still waiting for the Labor version in a negotiation that has ended up entering the start of the electoral cycle with the regional and municipal elections on May 28. .
“We are (…) trying to reorganize the details of a complex regulation”, acknowledged this week the Secretary of State for Employment and Social Economy, Joaquin Pérez Rey, who recalled that universities, the Vocational Training system and employment services.
“The clear intention is that this legislature be approved and hand in hand with the social partners,” Pérez Rey stressed.
From the unions they confirm that they continue without news and waiting for the Government to send the text with the latest modifications.
The scholarship holder’s statute will also establish, among other aspects, limits for the number of people undergoing practical training in a company, as well as the right to compensation for expenses, vacations, holidays or the use of services that people have. workers in the workplace under the same conditions.
Scholarship holders start quoting in October
In parallel to this negotiation, the Ministry of Inclusion already established last March in the royal decree-law of the pension reform the inclusion in the Social Security of the scholarship holders.
Thus, students who carry out training practices or external academic practices included in training programs, where university students and professional training enter, will begin to quote from this coming month of October.
According to the norm, a 95% reduction will be applied to the quotas for common contingencies of these contributions.
Likewise, the norm contemplates the possibility that the scholarship holders can compute, through a special agreement with the Social Security, up to two years of practices that they had carried out before the date of entry into force of the law.
