Company HR admit that if there are two people vying for one vacant and one is a smoker, this will certainly be deprecated. The new trend gained strength in the market after the restrictions on smoking came into force
Less than a month after the smokefree law comes into force, companies now admit prioritize the non-smokers compared to smokers in hiring. The fall in the pace of work is one of the main reasons. According to estimates of human resource companies, smokers can lose up to 20 minutes to work on a six-story building to come down to smoke and go up.
Since the August 7, smoking is prohibited indoors and community use throughout the state. The smokehouses are also vetoed, which causes the displacement of workers, who seek open areas for smoking. "As of now, really has become a trend as companies opt for hire who does not smoke," said Ralph Archangel Chelotti, president of the Brazilian Association of Human Resources (ABRH).
Isabel Macarenco, teacher and specialist in human resources of the Foundation School of Commerce Alvares Penteado (Fecap) says that this policy is explicit. "In selection processes, you realize that there is already a recommendation not to hire smokers. The request is made, yes. But do not give that guidance to companies, because we can be prejudiced, "he says. The companies confirmed. "If there are two people trying to one vacancy and one is a smoker, will certainly be sidelined," said Aderbal Nogueira, manager of Nutrin, food company.
For Isabel, the ideal would be for companies to invest in awareness campaigns for employees stop smoking. "But basically, the decision is the smoking: it reduces the consumption of tobacco or smoking. Descidinha This is really affecting. "She said before the new law, non-smokers have said they worked more than those who smoke, because the latter always had time to go to the smokehouse.
Nevertheless, Chelotti of ABRH said that depending on the industry for professional, smoking does not impair the production. "The time it takes to smoke does not mean he will not meet its goal. So I prefer to work education. Show that the quality of life must prevail. I can not lose talented people because of smoking, "he argues. He says that employees who smoke are a cost of doing business, because of health problems caused by smoking and by campaigns aimed at them. Chelotti also claims that smokers are avoiding smoking at work.
Dismissal
Who is dismissed with the excuse of being a smoker can move a punitive damages against the former employer. "The fact that the professional be addicted to tobacco should not be grounds for a dismissal. It can not be dispensed with a steady career, because of that, "said the lawyer Luiz Antônio Guimarăes de Paiva, a specialist in labor. About the fact that companies prioritize who does not smoke, Paiva out that they "have the discretion to hire professionals to fill the profile sought.
