Overview

• Vice President Yolanda Díaz said the Council of Ministers will take up the working-hours register with urgent processing next Tuesday.
• The step initiates the rulemaking for stricter timekeeping but does not yet make new controls mandatory for companies.
• Officials expect roughly four to five months of additional approvals before the measure is fully in force.
• The move comes after the 37.5-hour workweek bill stalled in Congress under a veto from Junts backed by PP and Vox, prompting an executive route.
• Díaz announced the plan in Ferrol and rebuked CEOE leader Antonio Garamendi over his comments on the so-called culture of effort and shorter hours.
