Rights for Persons with Disabilities Employed as Rehabilitees Bill

What does the bill do?

The bill renews, as a permanent law, temporary provisions that expired in 2017, which regulate the status of people with disabilities working in positions in which their work capacity is lower than 81% of that of a regular worker. A rehabilitee is entitled to receive employment remuneration directly from the employer at a minimum rate set in the bill, and additional rights detailed in the Second Schedule, but without formal employment relations. The bill regulates procedures for assessing work capacity, including an annual reassessment and also at the end of three years, and establishes a right of appeal to a regional labor court.
