April comes with important changes in labour law: increased requirements on pay transparency, correction of restrictive benefit criteria and new rules on predictability of working conditions.
The recent case law of the Supreme Court and the latest regulatory reforms define a new framework that directly affects payroll, incentives, leave, working hours and work-life balance, with an immediate impact on labour and human resources management.
The Supreme Court, in its ruling of 24 March 2026, confirms the employer's obligation to ensure that pay slips enable the worker to understand in a real and effective manner the origin, calculation and amount of each wage concept.
Ruling 258/2026 of the Supreme Court expressly recognises the right of self-employed family collaborators to access the capitalisation of unemployment benefit for the payment of their social security contributions.
The Royal Decree adopted on 19 March 2026 partially transposes Directive (EU) 2019/1152 and significantly strengthens the right of workers to clear, complete and accessible information on their working conditions from the beginning of the employment relationship.
The Resolution of 14 April 2026 establishes a new comprehensive framework for the working day, working hours and work-life balance for the staff of the General State Administration, replacing the regulations in force since 2019.
Ruling 165/2026 of the Supreme Court clearly delimits the legal limits in the design of variable remuneration systems, annulling clauses that conditioned the collection of the bonus to the absence of disciplinary sanctions and that allowed for its discretionary adjustment by the company.
Supreme Court Ruling 242/2026 clarifies the pay regime applicable during paid leave, stating that the inclusion of job-related allowances depends on the provisions of the collective agreement.
