Companies can modify working hours and salaries in certain legal situations

Changes to working hours, salary reductions or shift modifications can be legal under certain employment circumstances.

Companies have the legal authority to modify employment conditions such as working hours, salaries and work shifts in certain situations, as established by current labour legislation.

These changes, which may seem abusive, are legal when specific circumstances arise such as economic, technical, organisational or production reasons duly justified by the company.

Workers should be aware that these substantial modifications require a specific legal procedure, including prior notification and, in some cases, a consultation period. Nevertheless, the company can implement these changes if it meets the legal requirements.

Labour experts recommend that employees carefully review any communication regarding changes to conditions and consult with trade union representatives or legal advisers before accepting modifications that significantly affect their employment situation.
