Spain: mass layoff for “planned” and “temporary losses allowed

Permanent or temporary planned losses.  This new regulation, published in the Official Journal on June 14th, defines the framework for appealing to mass layoffs.  It is in line with the implementation of the labor market reform passed by Parliament on September 9, 2010 (see our dispatch No. 100699).  The key novelty is that it introduces the notion of “temporary losses,” which wasn’t specified in the text of the law.  With the standard approved by the Council of Ministers on June 10th, employers will gave to justify appeal to the ERE procedure by providing two new requirements in addition to regular general information.  On the one hand, they will have to provide information on the volume of planned losses and their character – permanent or temporary – justifying the decision to lay off.  This will have to include a report explaining on what criteria the calculations are based, as the State Council requested.
