Companies are now called to adopt a proactive and inclusive attitude that goes beyond mere regulatory compliance and firmly commits to diversity, equity, and sustainability in employment.
This measure requires companies to adapt without reducing salaries, through organizational and technological adjustments, and agreements with employee representatives to ensure compliance and maintain productivity.
This new legal framework aims not only to modernize immigration legislation but also to facilitate social integration, align with European regulations, and strengthen the rights of foreign nationals.
With the reform, the burden of proof is reversed: now it will be the worker who must demonstrate that the dismissal occurred solely due to exercising their right to request this adaptation.
A new measure called “additional solidarity contribution” is introduced, which will affect those workers whose salaries exceed the maximum contribution base, and which will be applied as from January 2025.
