The law was rejected and the legal maximum is still 40 hours per week.<\/p>\n<q>So why does my company work fewer than 40 hours?<\/q>\n<p>Almost certainly because of your collective agreement or your contract, which can set lower hours. That&#8217;s independent of the 37.5-hour law.<\/p>\n<q>Could the reduction be approved again?<\/q>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible. The Government could table a new bill, but it would need parliamentary support. Right now there&#8217;s no date and no law in force.<\/p>\n<q>Is time recording still mandatory?<\/q>\n<p>Yes.

today) Status as of September 2026 The 37.5-hour workweek is not in force in the private sector. The legal maximum is still 40 hours per week. The bill was rejected in Congress and, as things stand, no new law has been approved. Few topics have caused as much confusion for companies as the reduction of the working week. Between headlines, drafts and announcements, many organisations aren&#8217;t sure what they actually have to comply with. Let&#8217;s set the record straight, separating fact from fiction. What happened with the working-time reduction Cutting the working week to 37.5 hours with no loss of pay was one of the headline labour proposals of recent years. Here&#8217;s the path it has taken, in brief: December 2024The Government and the unions reach an agreement to reduce the working week to 37.5 hours. &#8230; <a title=\"The 37.5-hour workweek: what&#8217;s true and what&#8217;s not (as things stand today)\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/securexrrhh.com\/en\/jornada-de-375-horas-en-2026-esta-en-vigor\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about The 37.5-hour workweek: what&#8217;s true and what&#8217;s not (as things stand today)\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":13869,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_gspb_post_css":"","content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","masonry-post","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-50","no-featured-image-padding"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/securexrrhh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/securexrrhh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/securexrrhh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/securexrrhh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/securexrrhh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14200"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/securexrrhh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14200\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14202,"href":"https:\/\/securexrrhh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14200\/revisions\/14202"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/securexrrhh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/securexrrhh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/securexrrhh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/securexrrhh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
