It establishes that all private sector companies with employees on the payroll must register an electronic address with the Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MTSS), with the sole exception of domestic service employers.
This law has been in effect since January 1, 2023. Article 302 reiterates the obligation to register an electronic address with the MTSS, expanding the scope of notifications that can be sent through this channel.
In this regard, Article 303 empowers the MTSS to notify parties of Conciliation Hearings via the electronic address (an administrative procedure requested by employees as a prerequisite for labor litigation).
What are the consequences of not registering an electronic address with the MTSS?
The consequence is that companies are considered notified and, therefore, may not become aware of the scheduled date of the hearing before the MTSS.
What are the consequences of not attending the conciliation hearing?
Attendance at the hearing is mandatory; absences are sanctioned with fines. From a procedural standpoint, the prior conciliation may be deemed fulfilled, and the judicial path can proceed without the absent party being informed.
How is the procedure carried out?
The process is initiated online through the State procedures portal and may eventually require the physical submission of documents to the authority.
What should companies with an electronic address (DOMEL) do?
They are responsible for regularly checking the mailbox for any notifications sent by the MTSS.
