On Oct. 10, Spain’s regulation implementing its planned measures for the equality and nondiscrimination of LGBTQ+ individuals in companies took effect.
- This regulation outlines the negotiation procedure and the deadlines for conducting these negotiations with worker representatives.
- It also specifies the minimum measures that will apply if an agreement is not reached during the negotiation process.
Companies with 50 or more employees will have three months—until Jan. 11, 2025—to implement a planned set of measures for the equality and nondiscrimination of LGBTQ+ individuals. This period extends to six months for companies without legal worker representation.
