The green pass controversy in ports ignites. A circular from the Ministry of the Interior recommends companies in the sector "to make free rapid molecular or antigenic tests available to personnel without green pass". Then he specifies that economic operators "will be able to evaluate". The
Workers' Committee reiterates that from 15 October
, if the obligation of the Green Pass is not withdrawn, it will block the activities of the port of Trieste ".
Meanwhile, Draghi has signed the Dpcm with the
procedures for verifying possession of the COVID-19 green certifications
in the workplace from 15 October.
The lack of the pass does not entail dismissal, but those who do not have it will have to be removed from the workplace and each day of non-service will count as an unjustified absence: no contributions and calculation of days of vacation.
The control will take place via an app made available by the government.
The decree in a nutshell (Go)
Look at the photos
Green Pass, compulsory at work from Friday.
Here's how it works
Checks with the App, newspapers and in rotation in order to involve all staff, no contributions and holidays in addition to the salary for those who do not have the green certificate and are absent, prohibition for companies to keep the Qr code of employees, which will also arrive for who is exempt from the vaccine for health reasons.
And again, advance checks no later than 48 hours in case you have to organize work shifts and the possibility for those who have immunized abroad with the authorized vaccines to have the certification.
Green Pass, FAQ on dpcm signed by President Draghi (GO)
With the entry into force of the obligation of the green pass in all workplaces on the doorstep, the Dpcm arrives which integrate the decree that introduced the obligation and define the rules by which millions of Italians - public, private and autonomous - will live together from Friday.
Two measures have been adopted by Palazzo Chigi and signed by the Prime Minister Mario Draghi: the first, on the proposal of the Ministers of Public Administration Renato Brunetta and of Health Roberto Speranza, concerns the guidelines relating to the obligation of certification in the public administration;
the second, on the proposal of the Minister of Economy Daniele Franco, of that of technological innovation Vittorio Colao and of Speranza himself, introduces a series of IT tools that will allow an automated verification of the possession of certifications
.
Green pass at work, the rules from 15 October
Measures to which a third is added, a circular - or rather two - of the Interior Ministry on the possibility for port companies to offer free tampons to their employees
. In the first, the head of cabinet of the ministry, to avoid blocking the ports in the event of a high number of employees without the green pass, "recommends" the prefects to "solicit" companies to evaluate the possibility of making available for free the tampons. An ambiguous formula, especially as to who - in case - should pay for the tests, which requested a second circular. Companies "will be able to evaluate, in full autonomy, every possible organizational modality for the purpose of acquiring the green pass by employees without". Should they decide to do so, the cost would therefore be borne by them and not by the state. However, the circular opens a case and in fact the unions immediately took advantage of it to ask for the extension of the request to the entire transport sector.
As for the guidelines of the Public Administration - on which there is the go-ahead of the Privacy Guarantor - the Dpcm reiterates that the obligation of the pass (also the paper one) concerns all public employees but also those of cleaning services companies, catering, maintenance and supply of vending machines, consultants, collaborators, attendants of training courses, couriers, visitors. Instead, users are excluded. Those who do not have a pass must be removed immediately and every day of non-service is considered unjustified absence (with holidays and non-working days that are included in the account). The salary is suspended from the first day of absence but "in no case" can you be fired. Furthermore, no contributions or holidays accrue during the period of absence.
What if the absence of the employee results in "an interruption of an essential service"? The administration, says the Dpcm, can establish an agreement with other entities or use internal mobility between offices or different areas. But how do the controls work? They must be done every day, at access to the office or even subsequently, on a carpet or sample basis in a measure of not less than 20% of the staff in service and ensuring a constant rotation. To avoid delays and queues at entry, employers will be able to establish greater flexibility in entry and exit times. For the verifications, the 'VerificationC19' App or the new tools provided by the Dpcm can be used, which will allow a "daily and automated" verificationnoting only the possession of the pass and no high employee data.
It will be possible to integrate the QR code reading system with the turnstiles or with the devices for detecting the temperature already present in the companies and the software will communicate - with an asynchronous interaction - directly with the national platform that issues the green pass: through 'NoiPa '' for public bodies that adhere to this platform or with the INPS portal for employers with more than 50 employees, both public and private, or, finally, with personnel management information systems for those public administrations that have at least one thousand employees . But the Dpcm amending the decree on the obligation to pass also clarifies two other non-secondary aspects: for the employer, public and private, there is "an explicit prohibition"to keep the QR code of the certifications nor is it possible "in any case" to collect employee data "except those strictly necessary" for the application of the sanctions. Furthermore, it will be possible to request the pass in advance from the employee in case of company shifts, but this advance must be "strictly necessary and in any case not exceeding 48 hours".
