EXTEND THE TIME FOR NOTIFICATIONS UNDER THE DISABILITY ACT
The Employment Agency will continue to accept annual notifications from employers seeking to hire people with permanent disabilities through the agency or other registered intermediary organizations and have not fulfilled the quota under Art. 38, para. 1 of the Disabled Persons Act.
If the employer does not wish to use mediation, he is not obliged to give notice, but to take independent actions to hire people with permanent disabilities. The Disabled Persons Act also lists cases in which employers are exempted from the quota obligation.
If there are grounds for notification, it must be drawn up in a standard form and sent to the employment office in the territory of which the registered office is situated.
The notification may be submitted within one month after the cancellation of the state of emergency, in accordance with the provisions of Art. 4, item 1 of the Law on Measures and Actions during the State of Emergency (LMASE), announced by a decision of the National Assembly of March 13, 2020.
Submission can be done through a licensed postal operator or electronically in accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 and the Electronic Document and Electronic Certification Services Act, including through a secure e-service system profile.
In the period of strict implementation of measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus, the Employment Agency does not recommend that the notification be made through a visit to the relevant Labor office, but the reception of an on-site notification will not be refused either.
The Employment Agency reminds that employers have no obligation to notify the employment office of the jobs determined in accordance with Art. 315 of the Labor Code, and that these places are not taken into account when taking into account the implementation of the quota under Art. 38 para. 1 of the Disabled Persons Act.
The model notification and the Procedure for submitting notifications for occupation of jobs for people with permanent disabilities in accordance with Art. 41 of the DPA are published on the website of the Employment Agency and are available at the following link: https://www.az.government.bg/pages/uvedomlenie-ot-rabotodatel-zhu/.
The Employment Agency once again calls on its future and current clients to stay home and focus on its e-services, assuring them that they will receive all the necessary assistance remotely.
