Abstract

The conversion of special time into ordinary time is a form of time adjustment based on mathematical criteria, according to which time is computed with a certain compensatory increase in favor of insured person for being subject to work that is harmful to his health or physical integrity. It is a positive legal discrimination in protection of workers exposed to special conditions, to ensure isonomic treatment insofar as, without the possibility of time transformation, the aggressive effect of certain activities on the health of the insured is disregarded, as special activities are treated like activities without exposure to any harmful agent. The validity of the extinction of the conversion of special time in common promoted by Constitutional Amendment (EC) n. 103/2019 is questioned by removing protection until then conferred as a measure of isonomy.
