La estabilidad laboral reforzada, en los casos de servidores públicos con enfermedades catastróficas

Abstract

Abstract: This essay addresses the content of reinforced job security in Ecuador, as it addresses its scope for the benefit of labor protection for public servants who develop catastrophic illnesses, which are recognized by the Ministry of Public Health. The Constitutional Court has issued rulings in favor of the employment status of individuals with this type of illness, thereby finding themselves in double violation. This research serves to analyze reinforced job security in Ecuador and how it has been presented in favor of public servants diagnosed with catastrophic illnesses. To identify the main rulings of the Constitutional Court, the methodology of dogmatic and jurisprudential analysis is used to highlight the standards that have been established around the subject. This work concludes that it is necessary to strengthen reinforced job security, as it is intended to protect the rights derived from dignity, health, work, and equality, this being a duty of the State as the main employer of public servants.
