International Day of Disabled Persons.

December 03 is the International Day of Disabled Persons. This special day was proclaimed in 1992 by the United Nations with a specific purpose : to promote the integration of people with disabilities in our society by giving them access to the economic, social and political life.

People with disabilities represent 15% of the world population, while 80% of them are of working age; In St. Martin, CAF follows about 400 cases of people with a disability. Giving an access to employment to these persons is a central issue of our social policies. Women in particular are facing behavioral barriers to have equal opportunities in the workplace.

December 03 is for me an opportunity to discuss the professional integration of people with disabilities, including the Recognition of Disabled Worker Quality (RQTH), which is an essential feature in the life of disabled workers.
The RQTH is intended for employees with disabilities, chronic illness, health problem, with an impact on working life. It includes specific provisions for disabled employees because it allows them to benefit from facilities (workstation, scheduling arrangements, part-time duty in the public service) and in general, benefit of all the measures that help them to keep their job. It also offers the opportunity to access certain qualifications and professional training which can be paid, and also access to a direct recruitment in the public service (by contractual agreement under conditions), knowing that this type of recruitment will be eligible for tenure.
The RQTH is an official recognition of your health problem, which must be taken into account by your employer, your superiors and colleagues.

How to apply for RQTH?

The law provides that any employer of the public or private sector, employing 20 people or more is required to have in its workforce, at least 6% of disabled people. Those officially recognized as disabled workers are legally entitled to individualized schedules arrangements if their condition requires it.

People with disabilities who wish to obtain this recognition are invited to submit to the Solidarity & Families department of the Collectivité, n°5 Rue Léopold Mingau at Concordia, to remove the folder and return it duly completed. It is also possible to download folder on the www.service-public.fr website (under Labour / Employment and Disability). It must be accompanied by a medical certificate required for the admissibility of the demand.

Who gives RQTH?

This recognition comes under the jurisdiction of the Commission on Human Rights and Autonomy of Disabled Persons (CDAPH) assessing the application and notify the applicant of its decision to award or not RQTH, for a period of 5 years.

In my capacity as the vice-president in charge of social issues, I would like to encourage people with disabilities to take the necessary steps for their situation to be taken into account in the workplace. The Director of Autonomy is at the disposal of these people, to support them in their efforts.

Ramona Connor
2nd Vice President in charge of Solidarity & Families Department – Collectivité of St. Martin.
