| News | Employment Law and Social Security
Alfredo Aspra explains in El Economista that grandparents do not count when it comes to adapting the working day of the worker because although they are an important support, they cannot be moved over them functions inherent to parental authority, which corresponds exclusively to the parents
The employer may not require a worker with a reduced working day to prove that grandparents or third parties outside the family are not available to pick up their children at school upon a request to adapt the schedule.
Alfredo Aspra, Andersen Tax & Legal partner and in charge of the Emplloyment Law Department, explains that "in the current social reality, grandparents are an important support, both for their children and for their grandchildren, they cannot be moved over them functions inherent to parental authority, which corresponds exclusively to the parents".
In addition, Alfredo Aspra believes that the company has not been able to prove that the adaptation of the working day generates organizational difficulties, especially when the worker herself has proposed various alternatives.
