HOPING to assist workers and employers to fully understand their rights and obligations now that Coronavirus is spreading, the Spanish Ministry of Labour and Social Security has published a guide.
It immediately caused confusion amongst employers and argument between PSOE and Podemos coalition partners which has not helped the situation.
