ROYAL DECREE 1483/2012, OF OCTOBER 29, 2012, APPROVING THE REGULATIONS ON PROCEDURES FOR COLLECTIVE LAYOFFS AND FOR TEMPORARY INTERRUPTIONS OF CONTRACTS AND SHORT-TIME WORKING
On October 30, 2012, Royal Decree 1483/2012, of October 29, 2012 was published in the Official State Gazette. The Royal Decree approves the regulations on procedures for collective layoffs and for temporary interruptions of contracts and short-time working, which are primarily aimed at adapting these procedures to the sweeping changes implemented by the reform of the Workers' Statute.
