📋 Tender Overview
The Labor Commission of the Chamber of Deputies and Deputies approved and dispatched to its counterpart from the Treasury the bill that temporarily makes access requirements more flexible and increases the amount of unemployment insurance.Although the idea of legislating the initiative was ratified unanimously by the members of the instance chaired by Deputy Gael Yeomans PCS no consensus was reached regarding the amount of insurance increase in favor of the worker who loses his source of employment so this article of the project was rejected within the commission.Likewise an indication was approved that includes private home workers as beneficiaries of this insurance although they have not contributed to the system a point that was claimed as unconstitutional by the Executive.The project which with these changes will have to go to a third procedure and eventually to a mixed commission proposes during the period of validity of the rule to improve the conditions of access and coverage of the Unemployment Insurance .For such purposes and to be able to access insurance benefits the text reduces the continuous contributions to three prior to the end of the contract or to six continuous or discontinuous monthly contributions in the last twelve months prior to the month of the end of the contract and must be in this case the last two continuous contributions with the same employer.Regarding the payment of benefits the legal proposal approved by the Senate temporarily established tables with coverage of unemployment benefits that replace the current regular tables. The change established a sustained coverage that as of the second month did not drop below 55 of the average compensation of the worker and that in the fifth turn it was established at 45 and could reach up to the 55 mentioned above through the issuance of a supreme decree that considers certain parameters for its increase. However these percentages were the ones that were rejected.As a result of the foregoing and the request made by pro-government parliamentarians that this amendment incurs costs because it is a social security aspect the initiative was dispatched to the Finance Commission in order for it to rule on the matter.It should be added that prior to voting on the legal text Ricardo Margulis president of the Federation of Tourism Companies of Chile Jos Carreo president of the Association of the Industrialists of Bread and Tamara Muoz national councilor of the Central Unitary of Workers who raised their points of view regarding the proposal in process.
