There are many labor obligations for companies in 2025. There are many regulations to comply with, in tight timeframes, and with the risk of being penalized if they are not carried out.
Laura Guillén, director in the labor area, explains in her article for Capital Humano what the most important labor obligations are, so that companies can establish priorities when it comes to responding.
Our labor lawyer points out some of these labor obligations: “the increase in social security contribution rates, which has risen by 4% in 2025”; the reduction in working hours, which, although “not directly applicable, must be adapted by collective agreements to reflect the new maximum working week of 37.5 hours per year.”
Regarding the recording of working hours, our expert highlights that “there are plans to implement a digital record of working hours, which would be accessible remotely and in real time by the Labor Inspectorate, as well as by workers and their legal representatives.”
However, the main changes, and those that are most difficult to implement, are undoubtedly those relating to dismissals, such as the introduction of a preliminary hearing, established by the Supreme Court: “in cases where the company carries out a disciplinary dismissal, it will be necessary to allow the worker a preliminary procedure to defend themselves,” says our lawyer.
