Working conditions
At Fuster-Fabra Abogados we are constantly updated on new legislation and collective bargaining agreements, as well as on the interpretation of these agreements by the national and European Courts. The regulation of working conditions varies substantially from one sector to another, which is why the personalised analysis of each situation we are presented with allows us to adapt our response to the specific circumstances of our clients. In this way, we resolve issues relating to working hours and their reduction due to legal on-call circumstances, as well as the specific problems relating to leave of absence, paid leave, contractual suspensions due to maternity, temporary incapacity or work accidents and their legal consequences.
Our lawyers also provide comprehensive advice on the flexibility of working conditions for objective reasons, both individually and collectively, as well as on procedures for the suspension of employment contracts.
We advise our clients on the specific procedure for substantial modification of working conditions, geographic and functional mobility and suspension of employment contracts, both formally and causally, both from the perspective of the needs of the company and the legal adequacy of the flexibilisation measures applied to the workers.
