MPT-DF recommends that Iges guarantee sufficient time for workers to vote in the elections

Iges-DF is an organization linked to the DF government responsible for managing the Hospital de Base, Hospital Regional de Santa Maria and Hospital Cidade do Sol, in addition to all 13 UPAs in the Federal District.

The recommendation was issued this Saturday (3), following reports of restrictions on voting by the organization.

Earlier, a statement published by Iges stated that workers would have up to two hours of absence for voting.

In the recommendation, the MPT asked the company "to ensure workers scheduled on election day have enough time to vote, without limiting absence to two hours or requiring prior authorization from the manager for longer periods."

The Public Ministry highlights that the time needed to vote varies according to the distance to the polling station, queues and transport conditions.

The MPT also requests that Iges provide all those on duty with proof of their shift schedule, so that they can be given priority in the voting queues.

The supporting document must be delivered without the need for a request by the employee, as previously announced by Iges.

In the report, Iges required workers to open a process via the Electronic Information System (SEI) at least 48 hours in advance.

The institute must immediately publish the guidelines and prove, within five days, the measures adopted. The guarantees must also be observed in any second shift", says the MPT. In addition to permanent employees, the measure applies to temporary employees, interns, apprentices and volunteers.
