At Easy Advisor Tech, we will teach you everything you need to know about data protection in the workplace, focusing primarily on the new laws that have come into effect. Failing to comply with these laws could result in severe financial penalties for the company.

Regulatory Body for Data Protection

In Spain, everything related to data protection is governed by the governed by the Spanish Data Protection Agency.

It is the institution responsible for providing recommendations on system security as well as the regulations for compliance with all laws related to data protection, from illegal spam that can be received or sent, to the confidentiality laws that all employees must adhere to in companies that handle third-party data, even with respect to competitors.

When should we implement data protection in the workplace?

The answer is clear and simple: from the very moment we establish our business and have employees under our charge. Under the new law, all labor-related data must be properly handled and accepted by both parties.

For managing data protection, it is common to delegate these responsibilities to specialized companies to ensure all necessary processes are in place and provide protection against any issues that may arise.

Confidentiality in Data Protection

In most companies that work with various technologies, whether it be computers, mobile phones, or other data management tools, including client data or sensitive information, a prior confidentiality agreement should be signed to ensure that, in the event of an employee's departure or legitimate issues, the protection of client data remains legally protected.

The new contracts in force for 2022

Nuevos contratos

At Easy Advisor Tech, we bring you all the updates you need to know about the new contracts applied for 2022. Although these new contracts were announced for 2022, they didn't come into effect until the end of March. It is important for employers to understand the new group of contracts that have been introduced, and we bring all the information here:

The most important changes in contracts are related to permanent contracts, training contracts, and temporary contracts.

Permanent Contracts:  The goal of the labor reform is to establish the permanent contract as the standard contract, with other contracts ultimately aimed at being converted into a permanent one.

Changes in contracting: 

  • The contract for works and services completely disappears, and in case the work ends, a redeployment proposal must be made.
  • Every redeployment proposal must be in writing, attached to the new employment contract.
  • There will be a 15-day notice period before notifying the worker of the acceptance of the new position.

Training Contracts: Their main goal is to provide employment opportunities to people who are studying or have completed their studies.

  • This type of contract will have a minimum duration of 3 months, with a maximum period of 2 years.
  • The remuneration will be predetermined by the applicable agreement.
  • A key benefit of this contract is its contribution rate: approximately 144 €/month, fully refundable. This is an ideal contract for integrating future talent into the company.

Temporary Contracts:The possibility of entering into contracts for specific works or services is eliminated, a contractual modality strongly questioned by both national and European jurisprudence.

For this type of contract, the following characteristics should be specified:

  • Enabling cause
  • Circumstances that justify the use of this type of contract
  • Specific start and end dates must be clearly stated
