Key labor changes in 2025

Reduction of working hours

In 2025, the standard working week will be reduced to 37.5 hours. Companies will need to reorganize shifts and schedules to maintain productivity while supporting work-life balance. Measures like digital disconnection rights and flexible schedules will also play a crucial role in enhancing employee well-being.

Although still in the legislative process, it’s essential to start planning now.

 

Mandatory digital time tracking

From 2025, all companies will be required to implement a digital time tracking system. This software will ensure accurate records of working hours and enable labor authorities to access this data electronically.

Choosing the right tool will be key to complying with legal requirements while safeguarding employee data.

 

Guaranteed digital disconnection

The right of employees to disconnect outside working hours will be reinforced in 2025. Companies must implement clear policies to avoid work-related communications after hours, promoting a healthier balance between personal and professional life.

 

Increase in Minimum Wage (SMI)

The Minimum Wage will increase by 5%, reaching €1,190.70 per month in 14 payments. This adjustment will impact payroll costs, so businesses must revise their budgets and salary policies to comply with the new standards.

 

New solidarity contribution

An additional contribution will apply to salaries exceeding the maximum contribution base, with progressive rates ranging from 5.5% to 7%. Both employers and employees will need to adjust, requiring accurate payroll updates.

 

Higher compensation for wrongful dismissals

To align with European standards, compensation for wrongful dismissals will increase in 2025. This change will affect HR strategies and cost forecasting for businesses.

 

Paid parental leave

Parental leave will become paid in 2025. This eight-week leave, which must be taken before the child turns eight, will require companies to adjust internal policies to ensure flexibility while maintaining productivity.

 

New Intern Statute

Next year, the number of interns will be capped at 20% of the workforce, and fair compensation will be guaranteed. This reform aims to professionalize internships and provide more equitable conditions for young professionals.
