ECIJA Ecuador's Employment Law team, led by director Francisco Dávalos, has prepared a new briefing note analysing the recent provisions issued by the Ministry of Labour related to the regulation of shifts and special working hours.


This analysis addresses the aspects that companies must consider when implementing or requesting the authorisation of this type of work organisation schemes, which allow them to adapt the working day to certain operational needs of the productive sectors.


The note also examines the legal and administrative implications that may arise from their application, including the requirements for their approval, the proper planning of working hours and compliance with the obligations established in the current labour regulations.


With this analysis, ECIJA Ecuador seeks to provide employers and human resources professionals with a clear vision of the scope of these provisions and the best practices for their correct implementation.


The firm invites you to review the full briefing note prepared by its specialised team to know in detail the most relevant points and their impact on the labour management of organisations.
