Economy and Labour agree to move the time record to September to avoid objections from the Council of State

Spanish Vice Presidents Carlos Cuerpo and Yolanda Díaz have reached an agreement to delay the approval of a labor reform related to time registration until September. The reform aims to strengthen and digitize the system for workplace inspection but faced objections from the Council of State. The delay allows the government to address these concerns before finalizing the decree. The reform replaces the previous reduction of working hours to 37.5 per week, which was rejected by Congress. The Council of State questioned whether a royal decree was the appropriate legal vehicle for such changes, arguing that regulations cannot impose new obligations beyond those set by law. Additionally, the Spanish Data Protection Agency raised concerns about data privacy regarding third-party access to the system. The Ministry of Economy also requested a one-year transition period for small businesses, rather than the 20-day implementation period proposed.
