Spain | Royal Decree 723/2026: new information and transparency obligations regarding working conditions

Last updated: 29 October 2026

On 5 October, Royal Decree 723/2026 entered into force in Spain, significantly expanding employers’ information obligations regarding working conditions.

The new Spanish regulations require companies to review their employment contracts and employment-related documentation, paying particular attention to issues such as the probationary period, information on working conditions and the use of algorithmic and automated systems.

Following its entry into force, on 9 October Ortega Condomines organised a practical session aimed at Human Resources, Employee Relations and People Management professionals, in which we analysed the main changes introduced by the new regulations and, in particular, their practical implications for companies operating in Spain.

During the session, we addressed, among other matters:

• The main changes introduced by Royal Decree 723/2026.
• The information that must be provided to employees and how its delivery should be documented.
• The review of employment contracts and employment-related documentation currently used by companies.
• The new requirements regarding probationary periods and the risks associated with excessively generic clauses.
• The information obligations relating to algorithmic and automated systems.
• The main measures companies should adopt to bring their procedures and documentation into line with the new Spanish regulations.
