Statute overview

About this statute

This law adopts measures to promote work for older adults and contains other provisions. This article states the law’s purpose: to promote employment for older adults without a pension and support their economic autonomy. Employers that file income tax returns may deduct 120% of wages and social benefits paid to eligible older workers, if they meet the staffing-share and minimum one-year hiring conditions. En contratos públicos empatados, se da preferencia al proponente que acredite mayor vinculación de personas mayores elegibles; si obtiene el contrato, debe conservar ese porcentaje y presentar certificación jurada. El Gobierno nacional debe reglamentar esta ley dentro de 6 meses, y las empresas deben certificar ante el Ministerio del Trabajo que cumplen los requisitos para acceder a los beneficios.
