V zadnjem tednu je OECD objavil oceno, v kateri je predlog vlade o ohranitvi obvezne božičnice – ali zimskega regresa – kot neprimerno ukrepanje, kar je povzročilo novo faza diskusije v slovenskem gospodarstvu. Obrtniški in podjetniški organizaciji, posebej Obrtno-podjetniška zbornica Slovenije (OZS), so ponovno poudarili, da je ta ukrep prejšnje vlade "populističen", kar je povzročilo polemiko med gospodarstvom in državno upravo. Ključna vprašanja, ki se pojavljajo, so, ali bo zima regres zamenjan z drugim sistemom nagrad, ali bo ukinitvena, in kako bo to vplivalo na podjetja in delovna mesta.
Povzetek OECD-jeve ocene kaže, da je zimska božičnica – tj. obvezna nagrada za delovno aktivnost v zimskem času – neprimerna in lahko povzroči dodatne finančne težave za podjetja. Organizacije, kot je OZS, so poudarile, da je ta ukrep v nasprotju z gospodarskimi realnostmi, ker je zimska božičnica predpogojena, ne glede na dejanski prispevek delavca ali poslovni rezultat podjetja. To je v nasprotnem smeri motivacije in ustvarjalnosti, kar je v nasprotju z menili, da bi moral biti poslovni uspeh odražen v nagradah. Predsednik OZS-ja Blaž Cvar je opozoril, da je ta ukrep "predvolilni bombonček prejšnje oblasti", ki je bil sprejen izključno za politične točke.
Ministrstvo za finance, ki ga zdaj vodi Andrej Šircelj, je poudarilo, da trenutno ne načrtuje ukinitva obveznega zimskega regresa, ampak odločitev o njegovi usodi prepušča dialogu med socialnimi partnerji. To pomeni, da je odločitev še vedno v procesu, in da se ne more predvideti končnega izida. Medtem pa je država sama zaradi izplačila zimskega regresa zaznamovala finančne težave. Za lani je državni proračun znesek izplačila zimskega regresa znašal 118 milijonov evrov, medtem ko je razbremenitev prispevkov in davkov še izpadla nekaj več kot 250 milijonov evrov. To kaže na to, da je ta ukrep stroškovno neposredno povzročil dodatne obremenitve za državo.
OECD je v svojem poročilu predstavil še drugačen pogled, da bi zimska božičnica lahko imela negativno vpliv na podjetja, zlasti manjše. Delodajalske organizacije so zato zahtevali, da bi se zakon o pravici do zimskega regresa in prenovi ugotavljanja davčne osnove, ki je pripravila vlada Roberta Goloba, predložil ustavnom sodišču za presojo. Tako so želeli, da bi se odločitev o tej vlogi odločila na drugačen način. Ustavno sodišče še ni sprejelo odločitev, kar pomeni, da je proces še vedno v teku.
Na drugi strani so delavci in delodajalci v nasprotju glede na to, ali bo zimska božičnica zamenjana z drugim sistemom nagrad. OECD je v svojem poročilu predlagal, da bi bilo treba ta ukrep znova premisliti, kar je povzročilo polemiko med gospodarstvom in državno upravo. Medtem pa so delodajalci poudarili, da bi lahko ta ukrep poglobil finančne težave, medtem ko so delavci trdili, da bi moral biti njihov prispevek vključen v nagrade. To je povzročilo še večjo napetost med različnimi skupinami v gospodarstvu.
Naslednji koraki bodo verjetno vključevali nadaljnje pogovore med socialnimi partnerji, kar bo pomenilo, da bo odločitev o zimski božičnici še vedno v procesu. Ključno bo, kako se bodo različne stranke prilagodile k temu, da bi se izognili dodatnim težavam. Če bo OECD-jev predlog sprejet, bo to pomenilo, da bo zimska božičnica zamenjana z drugim sistemom, kar bo vplivalo na podjetja in delovna mesta. Če ne, bo to pomenilo, da bo zimska božičnica ostala obvezna, kar bo povzročilo dodatne stroške za državo.

RTV Slovenija (MMC)State / PublicRightFactual 95Objective 7515 days agoThe Obrtno-podjetniška zbornica Slovenije (OZS) has reiterated its stance that the mandatory Christmas bonus introduced by the previous government was a populist measure aimed at gaining political points rather than being based on economic facts.
