RECOVERABLE PAID LEAVE

Between the measures adopted by the Government in Royal Decree-Law 10/20, of March 28 there is the configuration of a “recoverable paid leave”. A "permission forced” in order to put the economy in a state of lethargy, and force people to stay at home, because they will no longer have the excuse of work to go out to Street. This measure occurs between March 30 and April 9, which implies between 40 or in your case 38 hours to recover for the first week and for the second between 32 and 28 hours approximately depending on the working day that you set each applicable agreement. Starting from a 40-hour workweek, they would have to make up 72 hours of work, now well given the meagerness of the standard it is likely that everyone will have doubts about how it should be said recovery.

The first that the norm tells us that the recovery will have to be negotiated between the representatives of the workers and the company, and the only limits states are that the recovery of hours cannot behave:

curiously It is not mentioned in the regulation, the respect of the annual vacation periods paid, (art. 38 ET), ignoring, if the government has understood as weekly rest is basic, but not the vacation period for the purposes of recoveries. If there is no correction of the rule in the next days will have to be understood in the affirmative sense.

  1. Failure to comply with the minimum periods of daily and weekly rest provided for in the law and in the collective agreement.
  2. The establishment of a notice period lower than that contained in article 34.2 of the Law of the Statute of Workers This is that Workers must know at least five days in advance when they have to make up those hours.
  3. The exceeding the maximum annual working hours provided for in the collective agreement of application. Likewise, the rights of conciliation of the personal, work and family life recognized legally and conventionally.

Result evident that the recovery of said hours will depend on each sector of activity, and the productivity of workers should be taken into account, because it is evident that in a 40-hour week from Monday to Friday, doing one or two extra hours per day, it will not bring great benefit to the company in terms of productivity of these hours, as has been endorsed by numerous studies. There will be sectors where work can be agreed, for example, in the mornings of on Saturdays, or there will be others who seek to reduce vacation time, It will be in the next few days that we will see how the recovery of these hours.

THE EUROPEAN DATA PROTECTION REGULATION RUNS THE BUSINESS CARDS

One of the novelties of the European Data Protection Regulation is that it includes within its scope of protection the data of natural persons, when they act in their capacity as professionals or businessmen, as well as those data of natural persons of contact of legal persons.

To this novelty must be added the fact that data processing requires a explicit consent. The new regulation raises several questions: When a salesperson enters the door with a card in hand, do I have to give him or her a consent sheet to sign? If you are a commercial / staff of a company I work with, do you still have to sign a consent form?

The answer is yes !, and as long as the new Law that is in the project phase does not come out, and let's see if it gives any solution in this regard, the truth is that if they give us a visiting card, with the current regulations, we must collect consent and inform each of the extremes of art. 13 of the GDPR.

It goes without saying that what happens with the cards can be extrapolated to all cases of contact data of legal persons through their employees.

Thus, and with the current regulations in hand, if things are not changed, we will have to go through the paper shredder the card holder with all the cards inside, and refrain from taking any card from anyone in the business environment.

INDEMNIFICATION OF A TEEFÓNICA OPERATOR FOR INCLUDING A CUSTOMER IN A LIST OF PAYMENTS

On March 23, 2018, the First Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court sentenced a debt claim company to compensate with 10,000 euros for moral damages to a woman whose data it included in two records of defaulters for uA debt of 297 euros that Vodafone claimed from her in relation to mobile phone services, and with which she disagreed, since this was a violation of her right to honor. The consumer affected in the case under trial went to request a credit card from Banco Popular and was denied because it was included in a delinquent file. This motivated him to file the corresponding claim, which was upheld at first instance but was dismissed by the Oviedo Court. Finally, the Supreme Court (rapporteur Rafael Saraza) has agreed with him, condemning compensation by applying the Principle of data quality, which implies the inadmissibility of including personal data related to alleged doubtful debtors in the delinquent records. The Supreme Court emphasizes that it is not possible to include in this type of file those who "legitimately disagree with the creditor regarding the existence and amount of the debt", as occurred in this case.

The “data quality principle” means that data must be accurate, adequate, relevant and proportionate for the purposes for which it was collected and processed. As the STS of March 23, 2018 analyzed today, the art. 4 of the Organic Law on the Protection of Personal Data (hereinafter, LOPD), by developing both art. 18.4 of the Constitution as the standards of Convention no. 108 of the Council of Europe and Directive 1995/46/CE, of October 24, of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union, on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of these data, requires that the personal data collected for its treatment be adequate, pertinent and not excessive in relation to the scope and the specific, explicit and legitimate purposes for which they have been obtained, accurate and updated in a way that responds truthfully to the current situation of the affected party, and prohibits their use for purposes incompatible with those for which the data had been collected.

The quality of the data does not only refer to its veracity, a mobile phone debt can be true and exact for a mobile phone company, but if the debt is controversial, because the owner of the data legitimately considers that it should not what is claimed, the lack of payment is not indicative of the insolvency of the affected party and, therefore, in this case, like the defendant, inclusion in a delinquent file is undue and compensable by way of the right to honour. Let us not forget that the purpose of the automated file is not the simple verification of the debts, but the patrimonial solvency of those affected

In the Judgment under study, individuals are not required to have the same professionalism and exhaustiveness in their relations with companies as is required of them, as a result of their professionalism and regularity in commercial traffic. Therefore, if the consumer proves that he has claimed the amount claimed, showing his disagreement, without prejudice to the right that the company has to claim his payment, such credit cannot give rise to the inclusion of the client's data in a register of defaulters. , given the serious consequences that such inclusion has for the moral and patrimonial sphere of the person affected by said data processing. And precisely those consequences are what have given rise to compensation to the consumer for having been included in the delinquent file.

As is the case with mobile telephony, it is not the company itself that claims these amounts due and not peaceful, but they assign their credit to other companies that are dedicated to including consumers in the delinquent files. In this case, the Supreme Court also expressly resolves that said assignment of credit does not protect the inclusion in the file of defaulters, and that the assignee company must make sure that the credit is truthful and peaceful, not being able to protect itself in the assignment to act illegally. .

ACCUMULATION OF THE BREASTFEEDING PERIOD

A judgment of the Fourth Chamber, of the Social, of the Supreme Court, has declared that there is right to the accumulation in full days of the lactation leave. It is the first sentence of the Supreme issued by a tribunel made up entirely of magistrates.

The resolution states that leave for breastfeeding is a necessary relative right, which is specified in being able to be absent from work for one hour, with proportional increases in cases of multiple breastfeeding.

Collective bargaining or individual agreements can improve this right and can also establish that the leave is accumulated in full days, also guaranteeing the best protection and care of the newborn, which is what the norm seeks. In any case and with regard to the accumulation in full days, this must be calculated, at least, on the hour of absence and not on the other option - substitution by reduction of working hours.

A Bilbao court frees some parents from paying a guarantee for their son's mortgage loan

The Court of First Instance (Reinforcement) number 11 of Bilbao has freed some parents from paying their son's mortgage guarantee, considering that the bank was not very transparent and, consecuently, it has decreed, the "radical nullity" of the clause. The judge has considered that the guarantors were not sufficiently informed by the entity about the consequences of what they were signing, so it has understood that the clause that designated them as guarantors is abusive and, therefore, void.

The case tried in Bilbao was that of a young man with a discreet and unstable income who, when he asked for a mortgage in December 2005, the entity required the guarantee of his parents and siblings as collateral for the loan. When the mortgatee began to have trouble paying, the bank wrote to his parents warning them that he could foreclose on their home. Faced with this notice, the young man's father, fearful of losing his own home, began to pay his son's mortgage payments.

Now, the Court of First Instance number 11 of Reinforcement of Bilbao has ruled in favor of that Barakaldo family on understanding that the guarantee was abusive and that the bank "did not explain well to the parents and siblings" what it implied.

The Supreme Court sets criteria on the margins of error for speed cameras

The Criminal Chamber has established that mobile traffic radars that measure speed from a fixed location, on tripods or in stationary cars, have a margin of error of 5% and not 7%, for what attributes to this type of devices the same percentage as to fixed ones. With this criterion, the court has dismissed the appeal filed by a driver, who was recorded by a radar when he was driving at 214 km / h on the AP-68 In the case raised in this appeal -the magistrates point out- This percentage is relevant, because, depending on the margin of error that is applied, the driver can be acquitted or convicted.

The conclusion reached by the magistrates of the Criminal Chamber is that "If the measuring device, kinemometer, is used from a fixed location, that is without movement, whether fixed or static, the margin of error is 5%", and they further affirm that this cataloging is "logical" because "the measurement of speed, from a fixed radar, or from an installation without movement, supposes a smaller margin of error than the measurement made from a moving device".
