Labor Information Newsletter | Labor Directorate issues opinion on discrimination in job offers and electronic communication deadline expires Law 21,015

👉🏽 On January 4, 2023, the DT issued Ordinary Opinion No. 8 on “Discrimination in job offers.” Below we share the most important aspects:

Acts of discrimination are: Distinctions, exclusions or preferences based on race, color, sex, maternity, age, marital status, union membership, religion, political opinion, sexual orientation, gender identity, illness or disability, social origin, among others. others; that have the objective of nullifying or altering equality of opportunity or treatment in employment and occupation.

Differences and exclusions based on qualifications required for a given employee will not be considered discrimination. (art. 2 paragraph 3 et seq. Labor Code).

👉🏽 At the same time, on January 31, 2023, the deadline to carry out electronic communication that Law 21,015 (Law on Labor Inclusion) imposes on employers who have 100 or more collaborators expires.

That is, all companies with 100 or more workers must provide information proving that they reserved 1% of their employees for people with disabilities.
