(Adnkronos) - “Un paziente con tumore metastatico può rientrare al lavoro e gode di un pacchetto di diritti che sono ispirati all’esigenza di tutelare le condizioni di salute, consentire la partecipazione alla vita lavorativa e l'esercizio della propria professionalità”. Domenico Tambasco, avvocato giuslavorista, spiega i diritti delle persone che, grazie alle nuove terapie oncologiche possono rientrare al lavoro anche se in cura di cancro al seno metastatico, possono tornare a lavorare. Approfondimenti sul tema sono disponibili nel sito ‘E’ tempo di Vita’ progetto promosso da Novartis per affiancare tutte le donne con tumore al seno avanzato.

00:00Thanks to the new oncological therapies available today, a disease such as metastatic breast cancer can arrive, if not to complete healing, to chronicization.
00:24In this way, the life expectancy is expanded and the possibility of returning to work is opened up for patients.
00:45The metastatic breast cancer patient who returns to work enjoys different rights.
00:54It is a transformation of the working relationship from full-time to part-time, in the case in which the chronic pathology is a degenerative pathology, characterized by a progressive and gradual deterioration, for which there is a reduced working capacity, also by means of life-saving therapies such as chemotherapy, and above all this pathology, this invalidity, is confirmed by the medical commission at the health company territorially competent.
01:21Upon verification of these two requirements, the worker has the right to ask for the transformation of the working contract from full-time to part-time. A second right, where the health conditions are those provided by law 104 of 1992, is represented by the concession of working permits.
01:40In particular, three days of monthly permission, which can be divided into hours, and two hours a day, one if the schedule is less than six hours.
01:50In the case of recognition of civil invalidity with a reduction in working capacity of more than 50%, it is then possible to benefit, even in a non-continuous way, of a leave for a period no longer than 30 days throughout the year.
02:05The rights always provided by law 104 are also important, such as the admission to the workplace closer to the residence, as well as the right to transfer and the right to work at night.
