EQUALITY PLAN

Finally we do have an equality plan in Sellbytel.

UGT asked for the plan already in March 2011, and the Company informed us that there were no equality plan.
Since then we have been asking the Company several times to implement an equality plan, but without any luck.

Then April this year we got help from the ITC (Inspección de Trabell Catalunya) and that helped a lot.

Now the equality plan is in place, signed, and approved. Now we just need to see it on the Intranet.

UGT has been working hard in order to finish the plan. We had professional help coming from the union, and all, almost all, our suggesting's has been implemented in the equality plan. To start with, the Company thought that it could be done in 3 weeks, we told them that was impossible. And we were right. Several time the end date had to be postponed. After 3 month and several hundreds man hours, we succeed to finish the plan.

We welcome the new equality plan and we do hope that the plan will be implemented successfully in the Company policy.

If you have any questions, or if you want to read the equality plan, you are more than welcome to visit our office at any time. Here we do have the plan on print.

MEDICAL VISIT

When you need to visit your doctor, you have to try to get the appointment in your free time. But as we all know, the doctors are very busy, and it can therefore be very difficult to get an appointment out of office hours. So in order to not wait to long to visit your doctor, you take the appointment you can get.

By the way, you don't have to call your medical centre to get the appointment, you can book it on the Internet, www.catsalut.cat

Once you have the appointment, you book the time you need, including transport, in Sellby-World. The time you book in Sellby-World, does not have to be approved, nor can it be denied. Said with other words, you don't have to discuss the time you need to your medical visit.

You do have 35 hours per year to visit your doctor during office hours. These hours are not to be recovered.

If you use more than 35 hours per year to visit your doctor, the Company can choose to deduct the hours in your salary.

 

If you have any questions/doubts, please don't hesitate to contact us

Changes in the pay slip

With the new system Meta4, you might have noticed that you no longer have 30 days on your pay slip. You have now 1 month.

 

So how do you calculate your salary if you worked less than 1 month?

The calculation is: [30/100*the worked days (natural days)]

 

Or you can use the table below:

NEWS Nº 5

In Manzana project, some unfair warnings has been redrawn after negotiations with HR

Several employees have taken their warnings to the lawyer. It is free if you are affiliated in UGT. If you are not affiliated, you need to go to C/Girona 2, where you will be assigned a lawyer, and if you win you will have to pay a fee of aprox 30% of the amount you win.

The work in the equality commission is in process. We do have meetings every Friday. ITC has given a dead line, the 19^th of July 2013

Problems with the bonus system in a project in c/Pamplona.
Employees did have some complains.
After we had meetings in the project, they are now making changes for the better.

PVD:  

Since July 2012, ITC obligated the company to implement the PVD in a logic way together with the committee.

Unfortunately, the company implemented a software without being in contact with us and without trying and evaluating this mentioned software for a few workers first. (SBT only informed us about this application in written but without having a meeting, showing the exact features and function of this software)  

After a huge mess, we managed to have another try in order to organise the best way for this law (eye pause)... again without success. 

It is clear by now that Sellbytel simply does not want to implement this law. Neither according to how exactly the convention says nor an alternative agreement although they have been told by a high authority last year in July to do so immediately!

It is very difficult to stay in a clear communication with SBT since they try to complicate things and block our rights.

In this case, we did our best but could not get to an end. 

Therefore, we see ourselves obligated to go back to the inspection and hand over the case to them. 

We really want to apologize for this whole mess but, believe us, if it was up to us the PVD was by now implemented without inconvenience for the employees and the company

HOLIDAYS

We have 23 holiday’s days per year (calculated in working days). That means we earn 1,916 day per month.

When you are new in the company, you cannot expect to be granted holidays the first 3 month.

When you have been here one year, then you are in title to request your holidays in any period when you want (Estatuto de los Trabajadores). 

If you leave before the 31^st of December of the year in which you have taken holidays, the sum for the excess holidays that you have taken will be discounted from the final settlement.

When holiday’s are to be taken, is always a mutual agreement between you and the company. You request your holidays on SellbyWorld, and you should receive an answer within 1 week.

Holidays cannot be paid out in cash. This is not possible according to the Labour Law (Estatuto de los trabajadores) unless it is an end of contract.

Suggestion to negociation

We have given following suggestion to negociation to the compamy:

PROYECTO DE ACUERDO SOBRE DÍAS DE LA ENFERMEDAD DEL NIÑO

Sugerimos que padres con niños menores de edad, puedan coger hasta tres días no retribuidos cuando el niño este enfermo. Los días de ausencia serán de carácter no retribuidos. El empleado presentará un justificante de visita a nombre del niño.
Si ambos padres trabajan en la misma Empresa, los días no retribuidos solo podrán ser cogidos por uno de los padres.

En el texto del acuerdo se ha utilizado el masculino como genérico para englobar a los trabajadores y las trabajadoras, sin que esto suponga ignorancia de las diferencias de género existentes, al efecto de no realizar una escritura demasiado compleja.
