Sofofa open to discussing 'severance pay for all events' if hiring costs don't rise

Chilean industrialists, represented by Sofofa, are willing to engage in discussions about a potential 'severance pay for all events' policy. The organization's president, Rosario Navarro, stated that the idea is a 'good topic to discuss.' This indicates a potential openness from the business sector to reform labor compensation.

Navarro, speaking on Radio Infinita, stressed a crucial condition for any such reform: it must not lead to higher costs for formal hiring. This concern highlights the delicate balance between improving worker benefits and maintaining business competitiveness and employment levels in Chile.

The government is reportedly considering the implementation of this 'severance pay for all events' model. Sofofa's conditional willingness to discuss the matter suggests that negotiations between the government and business groups will be key to shaping any final policy. The focus remains on finding a solution that benefits workers without hindering job creation.
