Modern catering companies: 3 months to implement working hour changes or face fines up to €7,500 per worker

The resolution publishes a partial agreement to amend the collective bargaining agreement for the modern catering brands sector, establishing new conditions regarding working hours. It is applied in accordance with Articles 90.2 and 3 of the Workers' Statute Law and Royal Decree 713/2010. Companies must adapt their working hour records within a 3-month period; otherwise, they could face fines of up to €7,500 per worker.

In 2 key points

  1. Modern catering companies must adapt their working hour records within 3 months (art. 90.2 y 3 de la Ley del Estatuto de los Trabajadores)
  2. Fines of up to €7,500 per worker if deadlines are not met (Real Decreto 713/2010)

How it affects those involved

For companies in the modern catering sector, this implies an obligation to update their working hour records within 3 months. Workers do not face direct changes to their working conditions, but could be affected if the new recording requirements are not met. Labour advisors must review working hour records and ensure compliance with the new deadlines. Labour authorities may demand compliance checks.
