  23. Temporarycontracts: VIII conveni Item VIII Conveni Ingeneral Article12 states: “Staff may be contracted on a temporary contract for work that is sporadic and occasional, of limited duration and for transitory and circumstantial reasons.” Original catalantext: “És personal eventual el queéscontractatpelscentres per realitzartreballsesporàdicsiocasionals de duraciólimitadaiper raonstransitòriesicircumstancials.”

  24. Temporarycontracts: % of employees Employers CCOO Item VIII Conveni Getrid of thelimit. This opens thepossibilitythatall staff could be employedontemporarycontracts Limits to the % of staff team on temporary contracts Permits up to a maximum of 50% of employeesontemporarycontracts Defendthemaximum 50% limit, and demandthatit be improved as far as 25%. Whilstthebasicemploymentlaw, “EstatutdelsTreballadors”, regulatesthedefinition and use of temporarycontracts, itcurrentlydoesnotregulate a limit of a % of temporarycontractspermitted in a company.

  25. Temporarycontracts: repeated use, yearafteryear Employers CCOO Item VIII Conveni Permit up to a maximum of 12 months on two or more temporary contracts, within an 18 month period. Limitstotherepeated use of, twoor more, temporarycontracts. No limit. Onlywhateverthebasiclawstates. No regulation !! Seeinformationrelatedtolength of service, “antiguitat!! The basicemploymentlaw, “EstatutdelsTreballadors”,establishes a maximum24 monthson 2 or more temporarycontracts, within a total 30 monthperiod. However, thisclauseiscurrently suspended untilfurthernotice.

  26. Temporarycontracts: “circumstànciesde la producció” Employers CCOO Item VIII Conveni Raisetheminimum legal limitto 12 months in a total 18 monthperiodforthistype of contract. The temporarycontractcalledCircumstàncies de la Producció Notregulatedany more thanthelimits placed byarticle 12. See Maintainthe legal limit of 6 monthswithin a total 12 monthperiod. The basicemploymentlaw, “EstatutdelsTreballadors”, establishesthebasicminimumlimit of 6 monthswithin a total 12 monthsperiod. This can only be increased in a conveni, such as thatundernegotiation. Iftheemployeecontinuestoworkafterthelimitagree in conveniorlaw, theyautomaticallyholdthe legal status of a having a permanentcontract.

  27. Temporarycontract: “obra i servei” Employers CCOO Item VIII Conveni Notregulatedanymore thanthelimits placed byarticle 12. See The minimum legal condition: this contract should only be used for activities that are not the main economic activity of the company. This contract is frequently used “incorrectly” to try and avoid giving a permanent contract. Permit use of this contract when training is delivered to clients away from the main company base, ie. to private companies. I.e.all workers doing training In Company could be employed on temporary contracts! The temporary contract called: Obra i Servei Iftheemployeecontinuestoworkafterthelimitjustification no longerapplies, thentheywillautomaticallyholdthe legal status of a having a permanentcontract.

  28. Lengthof service, “Antiguitat” Employers CCOO Item VIII Conveni Wanttolimittherecognition of length of serviceunderpreviouscontractstolessthan 20 days break betweenonecontract and thenext. Recognise real length of service in thecompany. When a permanentcontractissigned, thelength of serviceonprevioustemporarycontractsshouldrecognsied. Article 66 “The length of service in thecompanywill be fromthe date theemployeestartedworking at thecompany.” “La data inicial del còmputd’antiguitatseràla d’ingrés del treballador en l’empresa.“ Should be recognise from the first day of the first contract, including if there were one or more months break between contracts.That reflects the reality of the distribution of courses in our sector. At CCOO we have won recognition of “antiguitat” even when there were months break between contracts. Suchrecognition has seriousimplications in thecalculation of bonuses and anypossiblefutureredundancypay.

  29. Workinghours Employers CCOO Item VIII Conveni Want to define working hours, only annually. Apply a 1% reduction, whilstdemandin new additionalobligatoryhoursbank, paid at +10% the normal hourlyrate. Define workinghours, onlyannuallynotweekly. Defines the average working week for all categories, as well as giving the annual total hours. Define working hours weekly and annually,to guarantee security for the worker, and a work-life balance. We defend reductions to working hours, through the setting up of a Ordinary Working Week, which improves the recognition for part-time staff. There are seriousproblems in this sector relatingtothe irregular distribution of theworkinghours, frequentchangestotimetables and quantity of hoursworked, resulting in seriousproblemsfor a work-life balance.

  30. Jornada: hoursbank and flexibility Employers CCOO Item VIII Conveni Want to be able to apply changes to timetables and hours worked throughout the year, with only 5 days notice to the WantanadditionalOBLIGATORY hoursbank, paid at +10% normal hourlyrate. This will enable increased working week for all staff, Administrative, General Services and Teaching staff. New additionalhoursbankforthosealreadyon full-time hours Onlypermits up to120 additionalhoursforteachers, with no obligationtoworkthem. We accept the principal of possible more hours, but on condition that they are paid at+25% normal hourly rate, and negotiated with the worker, with 20 days notice. If an employee wants to work overtime to earn more money they can do but it should be Voluntary and paid at +25% €. There are seriousproblems in this sector relatingtothe irregular distribution of theworkinghours, frequentchangestotimetables and quantity of hoursworked, resulting in seriousproblemsfor a work-life balance.

  31. Holiday at Xmas, Easteretc Employers CCOO Item VIII Conveni 12 workingdays*: 9 for Xmas, Easter, long weekends; 3 on dates chosenbytheworker (with15 daysnoticeandacceptedonlyonconditionthat it doesn’tpresentorganisationalproblemsnorif it coincides withotherrequests for days off.) * Increasesby3 Saturdays for thosewhowork a 6 dayweek. Holiday at Xmas, Easter and longweekends. Teaching staff Article 41 21 working days: 10 fixed by company, 8 days exchangeable for paid work time, 3 fixed by the worker. As a commitment to reach an agreement, CCOO proposes reducing the 21 days to 16, on condition of a minimum break of 2 weeks at Xmas, 1 week ay Easter, and on condition of improvements to paid leave entitlements. Non-Teaching Staff Article 44 8 calendar daysXmas 6 calendar daysforEaster + 7 days + 5 workingdays Thereisagreement at thenegotiationtounifythedaysholidaysforteaching and non-teaching staff. The disagreementis in thequantity of days off.

  32. Categories: l’Expert/a Employers CCOO Item VIII Conveni Teaching should be done by Teachers, the contribution of the “Expert” should be well regulated, defined and limited (eg. as in public and university sector) with a healthy working week, starting as full-time at 25 hours of classes and guarantees against substitution of Teachers, at an hourly rate of +20%€. New category of Expert Doesn’texist. Want to create a potential working week of 38 hours for the Expert which could all be CLASS CONTACT TIME!

  34. Abouttheduration of thecurrent convenio The current conveni is the VIII Convenid’EnsenyamentPrivat de Catalunya, code 7900575. There is an agreement, signed 21st April 2008, and registered at the Departament de Treball, 28th April 2008, between unions and employers, that states: “All parties affirm that until there is a new agreement the VIII Conveni de Catalunya de l’EnsenyamentPrivat remains in force in with respect to each of its areas of application.” According to our legal advice, we can defend the application of the VIII Convenibecause an agreement governing the duration of the conveni is in place and was signed before the passing of the Labour Reform, 6th July 2012.The agreementtakesprecedentwhendecidingtheduration of theconveni. Forthisreasonwestatethatthelimit of oneyearsextensiontonegotiate convenios, as regulated in theLabourReform, doesnotapplytothisconveni.
