Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands The Social Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands (TSJC), based in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, has recognized the right of a Post Office worker to change his afternoon shift for a morning one in order to take care of his minor children. The TSJC recognizes the adaptation of a postal worker’s workday to care for his daughter with suicidal ideation. The court thus revokes the ruling of a court that had rejected the employee’s request. The court applies an adolescent perspective. In information sent to Radio Sintonía through a press release, it is stated that the resolution takes into account the family situation of the worker, who must care for two children. One of them is a 16-year-old adolescent in psychiatric treatment for suicidal ideation. The Chamber highlights that the case must be analyzed applying an “adolescence perspective”, different from the childhood perspective applied to the other minor. According to the ruling, the young woman’s health status is clinically relevant and requires family care, so the worker’s needs must prevail over the company’s organizational reasons. Morning shift and compensation The court recognizes the employee’s right to set his day on the morning shift, from Monday to Friday, between 7:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Furthermore, the ruling condemns Correos to pay 3,500 euros in compensation for non-material damage, considering that the company’s initial refusal caused harm to the worker. Work and family conciliation Correos had justified its decision by alleging organizational needs and the need to reinforce the afternoon shift. However, the TSJC concludes that these reasons must give way to proven family circumstances. The Chamber points out that conciliation rights must be interpreted in an appropriate and final manner, especially when it comes to situations linked to the mental health of minors. With this decision, the court establishes a relevant criterion when differentiating between childhood and adolescence in cases related to family and work conciliation. The TSJC recognizes the adaptation of a postal worker’s workday to care for his daughter with suicidal ideation.
