Under the terms of the initiative, part-time workers are entitled to receive a wage on an hourly basis, which cannot be less than the minimum hourly wage fixed for each year. All the labor benefits that apply for the regular workers are to be determined proportionally.
Lastly, it establishes that the transfer of a full-time worker to part-time or vice versa is allowed, as long as it is voluntary, so the worker's consent must be stated expressly and in writing.
Conclusion
The approval of the initiative will be positive as it would facilitate the hiring of personnel by increasing the flexibility of the country's labor regulatory framework in an unprecedented way. This, therefore, without further regulation, provides that the payment of the minimum wage may be proportional to the number of hours worked, and the rest of the benefits must be calculated in the same way. In addition, it solves aspects that were not regulated in the Agreement 89-2019 of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security that is currently suspended.
