Published in the Spanish Official Gazette (BOE) on 27 November, a decree from the country’s labour ministry establishes priority access to vocational training for individuals affected by furlough measures as part of the ERTE (Expediente de Regulación Temporal de Empleo) scheme. This applies both in cases of furlough in the event of force majeure, directly linked to Covid-19, and those for technical, organisational or production reasons.
This decree, which entered into force on 28 November, builds on one of the points in the agreement reached by the government and social partners on 29 September, which extended the extraordinary short-time working arrangements until 31 January next year (see article nº 12156).
