Spain labor reform: corrigendum to Royal Decree-Law 32/2021 clarifies elements relating to contract to cover temporary demand for production

España - 

Spain Labor and Employment Alert

In its January 19, 2022 edition, the Official State Gazette (BOE) published a corrigendum to Royal Decree-Law 32/2021, of December 28, 2021, on urgent measures for labor reform, ensuring stable employment and transforming the labor market.

Besides correcting a number of grammatical errors and inconsistencies in the decree-law’s references to articles, it clarifies that the contract to cover temporary demand for production must be used to meet a transient and unforeseeable increase in activity (this reference to activity was omitted in the originally published decree-law) and oscillations which, while forming part of the company's normal activity, give rise to a temporary mismatch between the available and the required levels of stable employment.
