Spain may soon move to a shorter week with workers enjoying 2.5 hours more rest after the government on Tuesday approved a bill that would reduce official working hours from 40 hours to 37.5 hours.
If enacted, the bill, which will now go through the Spanish parliament, would benefit 12.5 million full-time and part-time private sector workers and is expected to improve productivity and reduce absenteeism, according to the country's Ministry of Labour.
