About this statute

This law is about gradually reducing the weekly working day without reducing workers’ pay. Esta disposición ordena reducir gradualmente la jornada laboral semanal sin bajar el salario ni afectar los derechos adquiridos ni las garantías de los trabajadores. La norma fija una jornada ordinaria máxima de 42 horas semanales y regula varias excepciones y formas de distribución del trabajo. The employer may phase in the reduction of the ordinary weekly working day, with staged hour cuts over time, and may apply the 42-hour week immediately. El empleador debe respetar las normas y principios que protegen al trabajador, y la reducción de la jornada no puede reducir la remuneración ni el valor de la hora ordinaria ni eliminar obligaciones frente a los trabajadores.
