New Spanish Law Protects Workers' Rights: Mandatory Work Hour Records
Spain introduces a new mandatory document for employees to ensure accurate recording of work hours. This measure aims to combat wage theft and protect workers' rights. Companies must now provide a monthly record detailing all hours worked, including overtime. Failure to comply can lead to fines of up to \u20ac10,000 per employee. The law is intended to increase transparency and provide workers with more control over their compensation. "This is a crucial step to protect workers from exploitation," says Alba, a social media influencer who brought attention to the new law in a recent video. The government aims to have the new system fully in place before the summer of 2025, though businesses have until December 31st, 2025 to fully adapt.
