On June 17, 2010, Royal Decree-Law 10/2010, of June 16, governing urgent measures for the reform of the labor market ("RDL 10/2010"), was published in the Official State Gazette. This regulation came into general force on June 18. Without prejudice to its current validity, it is anticipated that RDL 10/2010 will be tabled as a draft bill, in which case it is possible that certain modifications will be made to the current reforms.

RDL 10/2010 regulates certain innovations with respect to employment contracts, procedures, and dismissals; collective negotiations; labor flexibility; social security rebates; and the regulation of temporary employment agencies and job placement agencies.
