The Government will correct this situation through an amendment in a law that will enter into force “in the next few days”
MADRID, 14 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Official State Gazette (BOE) has stated in the Law of Infractions and Sanctions of the Social Order (LISOS) that one of its articles, 16.1 c), has received “with the same date of official publication and entry into force “two different wordings from the so-called Trans Law and the Employment Law.
Both laws, which are dated February 28 and were published in the BOE on the same day (March 1 of this year), modify this article, but do so with different wording.
The article in question refers to one of the “very serious” infractions that an employer, placement agency or training entity would incur if, in a recruitment or intermediation process, they request personal data that could lead to discrimination against the worker. for a variety of reasons, including age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, political or religious beliefs, or ethnic or racial origin.
Both wordings agree on almost all these reasons, but while the Employment Law includes health as a punishable reason if it is used to discriminate against a worker, it does not appear in the Trans Law. The BOE collects both newsrooms and states where they come from. Both would therefore be in force.
However, sources from the Ministry of Labor, responsible for the Employment Law, have explained to Europa Press that this situation has already been corrected through an amendment to a rule that is “about to be approved and published” and that will enter into force “in the coming days”.
The same sources have attributed what happened “to a technical matter, outside the Ministry of Labor”, which occurred during the parliamentary process, in parallel, of the Trans Law and the Employment Law.
