But once this period has ended, workers must recover all these hours of lost working days, and this must be done before December 31, 2020.
To be able to do this, the company and the staff must have negotiated the procedure to follow to do so and have reached a common agreement that is satisfactory to both parties. It must be taken into account that there are a series of regulations that limit the number of maximum hours that can be worked per day and per week, therefore there should be some “period of consultations between companies and the legal representatives of the workers” to see when all these hours could be carried out.
Once both parties have reached an agreement, the workers can begin to recover them under the agreed conditions. But the problem can come in cases where there has been no agreement between the organization and the business staff, and in this case it would be necessary to look for case law (other rulings) that can clarify this issue and allow satisfactory agreements to be reached for both parties.
