Increase in sanctions by the Labour Inspectorate in Spain: now in force
On 1 October 2021, an increase in sanctions by the Labour Inspectorate took place. According to the 1st Final Provision of the Remote Working Act, the fines regulated in the Act on Offences and Penalties in the Social Order have been increased by 20 % of their value.
