EXPEDIENTE DE REGULACIÓN DE EMPLEO

When a Spanish company wants to make permanent employees redundant, it is first legally required to draw up an expediente de regulación de empleo (or “ERE” – also called an “expediente de crisis” or a “regulación de empleo”) to present to the authorities. In effect, this requires official permission for redundancies which have not been agreed with workers' representatives, and is particularly important in cases of collective redundancies.
