Employment equality

Abstract

A regulation such as Law 15/2022, of July 12, comprehensive for equal treatment and non-discrimination, could not leave employment outside its scope, for others, public and private, and also for self-employment; as well as promoting a balanced presence in representative and social organizations that act in the field of labor relations. The increase in the list of causes of discrimination, the inclusion among them of illness and state of health, among others; or the manifestations and aspects of unfair different treatment, which includes discrimination due to the omission of reasonable measures or adjustments; or the express reference to the integration of the gender perspective in the actions of the public powers, of course in the jurisdiction, are bound to display effects of notable impact on salaried work and employment. On the other hand, the law, which is already part of a considerably complex and comprehensive regulatory framework, will have to be applied in an integrated manner with another large number of provisions promulgated at the same time, which in turn affect equality between people and in the protection of the most vulnerable groups or situations.
