A new salary supplement called "attendance bonus" was recently introduced in the wages of many workers. Through this bonus, companies aim to combat what has been termed absenteeism.
The article criticizes the way companies use this type of salary incentive. The author questions the effectiveness of this measure and warns of its possible negative consequences for workers.
UGT, as well as UGT FICA Comarques de Castelló, have publicly expressed their opposition to this type of salary supplements. The main objection relates to the fact that companies continue to consider paid leave to which workers are entitled as "non-attendance."
The article argues that, as long as companies do not stop considering workers' rights as unjustified absences, this type of incentive that penalizes those who exercise their legal rights should not be supported.
