Be careful to supervise the system to respond to employers’ fears, the deputies adopted this Wednesday, June 4, a text to protect employees who wish to give their blood in their working time.
While France faces a “permanent tension” in its stocks of blood products and particularly in drugs derived from plasma, imported to two thirds of the United States, “it is essential to expand our breeding ground for donors, to lift the brakes in regular commitment in favor of the gift of blood and recognize the gift as a citizen law,” the distributor of the distributor of Pierre Pierre, author of the law, supplied the distributor of the Pierre Pierre, author of the law.
A “useful” device for “strengthening the chain of solidarity”
Adopted at the beginning of reading to 125 votes against 12 and now transmitted to the Senate, the transparent text provides development during the working time of employees and public officials to allow them to go and give their blood, their plaques or their plasma.
The latter can do it through an “absence authorization” that cannot lead to a fall in remuneration.
“Today, the law allows the employer to maintain the remuneration of an employee during his absence for a donation, but does not impose anything,” said Health Minister Yannick Neuder, favorable to this “useful” device according to him to “strengthen the chain of solidarity.”
The minister, like several parliamentary groups, transmitted the fears of businessmen, worried about having to overcome many absences.
Eight absences per maximum year
“At a time when all entrepreneurs ask us to make our lives easier, you introduce a new organizational restriction, which is more expensive for the company,” said Nicolas Turquois, speaker of the modern group who opposed the initiative as well as the Ciotistas of the UDR.
“This text goes against the deep philosophy of the gift of blood that is elegant and selfless,” he added.
To respond to these alerts, the system has been very supervised, particularly by limiting the number of absences to a maximum of eight per year. Employees will also have to opt for the “closer” collection location of their home or workplace, and inform their employer for three business days before their donation.
The bosses may also oppose this application if they interrupt “the continuity of the service” of the company.
