Spanish Minister Yolanda Díaz Clarifies Legal Rights for Employees Facing Dismissal

Madrid, Spain - Yolanda Díaz, Spain's Second Vice-President and Minister of Labor, recently addressed a critical issue concerning employee rights during dismissal, clarifying the legal provisions for job searching within the notice period. In a widely circulated video, Díaz responded to a hypothetical scenario where an employee was informed of impending dismissal and told they must complete their full working hours without time to seek new employment.Minister Díaz unequivocally stated that such a demand from an employer is "completely illegal." She emphasized that the Workers' Statute, specifically Article 53.2, grants employees the right to utilize two hours daily during their notice period for the purpose of finding new work, without any reduction in their salary. "Your boss is violating the law," Díaz asserted, urging workers to defend their rights. This clarification aims to empower employees and ensure fair treatment during the often-stressful period of job transition.
