Persons

included in the LGBTI collective

must report and prove their condition to the Ministry of Labor if they wish to be priority beneficiaries of the active employment policy programs that

the central Administration will implement in the future in coordination with the autonomous ones

.

Participation in these programs -aimed at promoting the inclusion of people with special difficulties in accessing and maintaining employment or developing their employability- will always be free.

But once you choose to take advantage of them by declaring the condition, as reported by El Español, the administrations will also require

accreditation to guarantee that the support and resources have been correctly assigned.

How it is accredited in the eyes of the Administration to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual or intersex, acronyms that make up the acronym

LGBTI

, is not yet developed.

"

Common guidelines will be followed in the Administration

for other types of procedures such as a certificate of coexistence unit or a responsible declaration; it is a framework law that will later be developed," they explain in the Ministry of Labor.

The Employment Law project that is already in Parliament does indicate that within this group

"trans" people will receive "special attention" in terms of treatment for their employability

.

In Labor's opinion, the fact that the text has been approved by the Council of Ministers offers guarantees that there are no doubts or differences within the Government regarding its legal certainty or its technical quality, as has happened with the Trans Law.

"The accreditation will always respect current legislation," promises Trabajo.

Sources from the ministry led by Yolanda Díaz assure that neither the recognition of the sexual condition nor the necessary accreditation will be known by the companies that hire these people, at least by the Employment services.

"

There will be no mark on the profile, it will be confidential and

the companies will not know the sexual orientation of the employee."

Labor regulations are very demanding in this regard, not only with regard to sexual orientation but also with any kind of discrimination based on gender, such as asking job candidates about their intentions to start a family.

The bill considers

"vulnerable groups of priority attention"

to a wide variety of profiles with different cases.

Among them are young people with low qualifications, the long-term unemployed, people with disabilities or limited intellectual capacity, over 45 years of age, migrants, women with low qualifications, women victims of gender violence, people in a situation of social exclusion, Roma people. or belonging to other ethnic or religious groups, workers in sectors undergoing restructuring, affected by drug addiction and other addictions, first-degree descendants of women victims of gender violence...

Being a priority does not necessarily mean that they will precede other people not belonging to these profiles who are also looking for work in the employment services.

Rather, it refers to the fact that they are categorized as job seekers

who prove difficulty in finding or maintaining it,

explains Trabajo, for which reason the Administration makes an effort to include them in the labor market.

The intention is, according to the Government, to create an increasingly personalized attention of the Employment services in their active policies.
