Royal Decree-Law 18/2020, of 12 May, on social measures in defence of employment
Royal Decree Law 18/2020 was published in the Official State Gazette of 13 May 2020 and came into force on the day of its publication. This RD-Law is raising interpretative doubts, which are expected to be dispelled by the Directorate General of Labour in the coming days. In essence, the new regulations allow the extension of the extraordinary measures of flexibility of the employment regulation proceedings (ERTE) due to force majeure derived from the COVID-19 and establish mechanisms of total or partial waiver of the ERTEs in progress, disassociating them from the state of alarm, with new regimes of exoneration of quotas and extension of the mechanisms of protection due to unemployment and safeguard of employment. We explain the main novelties in our Information Note.
