Spain’s Socialist Party and the far-left group Sumar agreed to cut weekly working hours as part of talks to try to form a coalition government.

This is an investiture agreement pact between the leading PSOE and its partner Sumar, with PSOE’s leader Pedro Sanchez being expected to be re-elected prime minister by the Parliament this month, meaning that, while there is a relatively clear agreement that these parties are about to continue leading the government and have the intention of passing this reform, it’ll take a while to be a reality.

    Usually the way it works is that you keep working the same hours, so 40 is the usual, and the difference you get as extra paid vacation days. So 2.5 h/week * 47 weeks = 117.5 hours or a bit over 14 days. That’s almost 3 weeks of extra paid vacation.
