📋 Tender Overview
In order to propose the form and manner of resolving the discrepancies that have arisen between both Chambers a Mixed Commission will be formed on the project that temporarily makes the access requirements more flexible and increases the amount of unemployment insurance benefits on the occasion of the Covid-19 pandemic and perfects the benefits of Law 21227 which empowers access to the benefits of said insurance.In its third process the Chamber unanimously rejected two changes introduced by the Lower House which corresponds to the formation of said mixed instance. The modifications refer to the change that finally left the provision that increases the amounts and percentages of unemployment insurance replacement rates without a calculation table article 4 and the changes to the article relating to private home workers.The Senator Juan Pablo Letelier in his capacity as Chairman of the Working Committee reported on the initiative and the recommendations of the instance so as to advance the ratification of most of the articles but sent to a Joint Commission the relevant rules of Articles 4 and 11 which became 10.Along the same lines the Minister of Labor Mara Jose Zaldvar asserted that as the Lower House bill came out it would not meet the objective of increasing coverage and having new beneficiaries of unemployment insurance.CONCERNS AND PROGRESSSenator Carlos MontesI regret not having the final text of the project present and visible. It seems important to me to affirm certain advances that were achieved in the Senate and the House. The main thing is what refers to income to apply to the IFE for private home workers because they were left with reduced income .Senator Juan Antonio ColomaPart of our job is to speed up projects that are going to face the social and economic effects of the pandemic just as we saw SMEs and tax effects yesterday. There should be a Mixed so that there is a rule for the improvement of the current insurance replacement rates .Senator Carlos BianchiDue to the decisions that the government has taken workers do not have money in their severance funds and what is happening is that people when they were fired were left without a severance fund. That is why we said that the solidarity fund had to be addressed first and not the individual one.Senator Jos Garca RuminotThis project brings concrete and direct benefits because it improves the amount that the worker receives that is it improves the replacement rate. This project has been in process for 50 days and our workers will have to keep waiting unfortunately .Senator Isabel AllendeIt is sad that the workers who end up paying the bill. The issue is the design of the government we improve as much as possible but the mistake is made by the Executive. It is good that the situation of domestic workers improves .Senator Jacqueline Van RysselbergheIt is difficult to understand the indications of the Lower House because they distort the project. There are already workers who have received their second or third installment and due to this delay their rate of return will be affected .Senator Jorge PizarroIt is a second rule to facilitate the access of workers to unemployment insurance. We want to expand the coverage increase the money orders. I believe that the changes in the Lower House should be questioned and replace what was approved in the Senate .Senator Alejandro NavarroThe Senate is becoming a mailbox because there was time in the House to analyze the norm. Five months ago we have been discussing the same thing. I am ashamed because the deputies did it .Senator Rodrigo GalileaIn this project there are only two objected rules so I think we have to go to the mixed because the rest have already been solved. We are talking about the elimination of the heart of the project calculation table and that of the private house workers .Senator Juan Pablo LetelierIt would be a tremendous mistake to reject everything. Including partial contract workers is adequate as allowing domestic workers to be considered. What was approved in the Chamber about them will be a dead letter .
