Rome, 13 Oct - Mandatory green pass at work from Friday 15 , Prime Minister Mario Draghi signed the Dpcm with the guidelines on controls and sanctions . On the government website was published FAQ to clarify what changes and what you are likely to flout the rules. The premier also signed a Dpcm with guidelines for public administration personnel .
Mandatory green pass at work, Draghi signs the Dpcm
The Prime Minister, on the proposal of the Minister of Public Administration Renato Brunetta and the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, adopted with two Dpcm the guidelines relating to the obligation to possess and exhibit the Covid-19 green certification. As is well known, the green pass is mandatory for both public administration staff and private sector workers. On the Public Administration front, the obligation also applies to "employees of companies that have contracted out services for cleaning, catering, maintenance, refueling of vending machines". As well as for “consultants and collaborators and lenders or attendants of training courses”. “As well as couriers who deliver office or private mail to offices. Only users are excluded ”, emphasizes in the Dpcm.
The Faq of Palazzo Chigi
How does it work for those who have not received the green pass on time? It will be possible to exhibit “the documents issued by public and private health structures, pharmacies, analysis laboratories, general practitioners and pediatricians of free choice. Those without green certification will have to be removed from their workplace - reminds Palazzo Chigi -. Each day of non-service, up to the display of the green certification, is considered unjustified absence, including any holidays or non-working days in the period of absence. In no case does the absence of green certification entail dismissal ".
Who controls the green passes?“The person in charge of the control is the employer, who can delegate this function with a written deed to specific personnel, preferably with managerial qualifications. The guidelines leave the employer free to establish the implementation modalities. The control can take place at access, avoiding delays and queues during the entry procedures ". Or “subsequently, on a carpet or on a sample daily of not less than 20% of the staff in service, ensuring the rotation and therefore the control of all the staff”. “For verifications, you will be able to use the free Verification C-19 application. In addition, applications and platforms will be provided to administrations aimed at facilitating automated control, on the model of what happened for schools and universities ".The Dpcm also provides for greater flexibility in entry and exit times. “Each administration - it is in fact specified - also in order not to concentrate an excessive number of personnel on the tasks of verifying the green certification, will have to expand the ranges of entry and exit from the workplaces of the staff employed. It will therefore be possible to reach the workplaces themselves and the start of work over a longer period of time ".It will therefore be possible to reach the workplaces themselves and the start of work over a longer period of time ".It will therefore be possible to reach the workplaces themselves and the start of work over a longer period of time ".
Controls in the private sector
As for the private sector, each company is autonomous in organizing controls. However, the Dpcm indicates as a priority that these checks are carried out at the time of access to the workplace. “It is advisable to use methods of verification that do not cause delays or queues at the entrance. In public administrations, the assessment, which must take place on a daily basis, primarily in the morning slot of the working day, can be generalized or on a sample basis ". “Provided that no less than 20% of the staff present in service and with a rotation criterion that ensures, over time, control over all employees”, explains Palazzo Chigi.
The penalties for those who are not vaccinated
"The worker, public or private, is considered unjustified absentee, without the right to a salary, until the presentation of the green pass" if he goes to work without certification. The worker who enters the workplace without a green pass faces a fine ranging from 600 to 1,500 euros. Any disciplinary sanctions envisaged by the sector collective agreements are also applied. “In addition to the salary, any other component of the salary, even of a social security nature, having a fixed and continuous nature, accessory or indemnity, foreseen for the working day not performed, will no longer be paid to the worker without a green pass. The days of unjustified absence do not contribute to the accrual of the holidays and involve the loss of the relative length of service ", reads the Faq. The employer who does not check compliance with the rules on the green pass risks an administrative penalty ranging from 400 to 1,000 euros .
Smart working does not exempt from the green pass
No exceptions are allowed on the obligation of the green pass for public employees and smart working cannot be used without a green certificate. In fact, it is not allowed under any circumstances to allow agile work to those who are not in possession of the green certification. Furthermore, the worker who declares possession of the green pass but is unable to show it must be considered unjustified absent. And it cannot in any way be used as an agile way of working, which will in any case be the exception and not the rule .
Who can apply for green certification
Green certification can and should be requested by employers only from workers, including self-employed workers who work at the company. A few examples to understand. Hairdressers and beauticians do not have to ask customers for the green pass . “Do hairdressers, beauticians and other operators in the personal services sector have to check their customers' green pass? And do customers have to check the green pass of these operators? The owner of the business must check the pass of any employees but must not ask for it from customers, nor are the latter required to ask anyone who carries out the work in question ”, explains Palazzo Chigi. Again, how should customers behave when they get on board a taxi or an NCC car? "Customers are not required to verify the green pass of taxi drivers or Nc c " drivers .
