Know Your Rights: Spanish Workers Not Obligated to Make Up Time Lost Due to Employer

Spanish Workers' Rights: Are You Obligated to Make Up Lost Time? In Spain, a recent video by labor lawyer Un Tío Legal has sparked discussion about employee rights. The video highlights Article 30 of the Workers' Statute, which states that if a lack of work is attributable to the employer, employees are not required to compensate for lost time. The lawyer illustrates this with an example: "If your boss tells you to leave early and make it up another day, you can refuse and complete your workday. Those hours don't have to be returned." This clarification is especially important as many employees might not be aware of their rights in such situations. The video, which has garnered significant attention online, encourages employees to know their rights and stand up for themselves. The lawyer's expertise and clear explanation make this a valuable resource for workers in Spain.
