A public foundation with resources throughout Asturias

FASAD M. P. is a foundation of the regional public sector, with its own legal personality and budgetary and management dependence on the Administration of the Principality of Asturias; it was established on July 13, 1998, and its statutes were last modified on August 4, 2017. The agreement affects all its workers, regardless of the contractual modality, and excludes personnel with commercial, civil, or administrative contracts, those performing internships, and volunteers.

The functional scope lists the covered resources:

• Five Integration Support Centers: La Arboleya (Mieres-Siero), Villalegre (Avilés), Navia, Candás (Carreño), and Arriondas (Parres).
• Two day centers for people with intellectual disabilities: Riaño (Langreo) and Pando (Oviedo).
• Four residential units: La Arboleya, Turón (Mieres), Cangas del Narcea, and la Magdalena.
• Two gerontological day centers: Navia and Candás.
• The Tutelar Area, the Tutelar Housing of the Trasgu-FUNDOMA Building (Oviedo), and the aquatic environment stimulation program.

Working day, breaks, and leave

The agreement establishes an ordinary working day of 37.5 hours of effective work per week, equivalent to an annual average of 1,627.5 hours, with a weekly rest period of two uninterrupted days and a minimum of 12 hours between shifts. Schedules with more than seven consecutive days of service may not be approved, and no shift worker shall remain on the night shift for more than two consecutive weeks, except in cases of voluntary assignment.

Regarding leave, the text recognizes:

• 22 working days of paid vacation per year.
• Six days for personal matters, plus one additional day upon reaching 20 years of seniority and another at 25 years.
• One day for the “Main Day” of the patron saint festivities of the municipality where the workplace is located.
• One day of compensatory rest for each holiday worked.

The validity is for one year from the day following its approval by the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, with an annual tacit extension and the possibility of termination with one month’s notice prior to expiration.

Salaries and supplements

Annex IV establishes the salary table: the monthly base salary ranges from 1,134.86 euros for service assistants to 1,951.21 euros for psychologists, with 1,157.25 euros for caregivers, nursing assistants, and guardianship area assistants, and 1,348.25 euros for educators and social integration technicians. Supplements include 2.24 euros per night hour, 4.35 per holiday hour, 2.34 per Sunday hour, 57.77 euros monthly for shift work, and 9.16 euros per hour of continuous care.

In terms of social protection, the first sick leave of the year due to common illness or non-occupational accident is supplemented up to 100% of the remuneration, as is the case for leave due to occupational accidents or professional illnesses; the second leave is supplemented at 60% for the first three days and 75% thereafter, and there is no supplement from the third leave onwards. The agreement also incorporates an Equality Plan, a protocol against harassment, and measures for LGBTI people in accordance with Royal Decree 1026/2024.

Employment and representation

Internal promotion reserves 75% of the job offer vacancies, with scales that allocate up to 60% of the competition to seniority. Public offers reserve a quota of no less than 7% of vacancies for people with functional diversity, of which at least two percentage points are allocated to intellectual disability, according to Decree 6/2012. The Joint Parity Commission, consisting of three representatives from the Foundation and three from the staff, interprets the text and has 15 days to issue a ruling; if no agreement is reached, the parties may turn to the SASEC.

The agreement arrives at a time of renewal of the labor framework for a labor-intensive sector with permanent direct care, and its publication makes a text that until now only bound the signing parties enforceable. It affects both the professionals in the centers and the families served, who depend on the continuity and quality of residential and day services subject to stable ratios and shifts.
