What does the new regulation provide?
This reform clearly focuses on improving occupational health and work-life balance, and includes key aspects such as:
- Universal application to all sectors and all workers, especially those not covered by collective agreements.
- A new digital working day registration system, which must be accessible remotely for each worker, their legal representation and the Labor Inspectorate.
- The obligation on the part of companies to guarantee the right to digital disconnection, avoiding communications outside working hours.
This law could benefit up to 12.5 million workers, including 2.4 million in commerce, 2 million in industry, 1.4 million in hospitality and 1 million in construction. Therefore, the impact for large and small companies will be relevant.
