**Two of the most important measures approved during the state of emergency were the simplified lay-offs and the extraordinary training plan. Changes have now been made to the simplified lay-off regime and other employment protection measures have been approved. It is these measures that need to be detailed and analysed.**





We look at everything companies need to take into account with regard to changes to the simplified lay-off regime and how they can meet their expectations. We also detail the extraordinary incentive to standardise business activity, which is now split into two modalities, and which could be an important financial instrument at the service of companies.

Finally, we address the stabilization supplement, as a support measure to a group of workers that has been affected by the simplified lay-off.
