Administración del Estado

The Administración del Estado (AGE), or State Administration, is the central administrative body of the Spanish government, responsible for implementing government policies and providing public services. It encompasses various ministries, agencies, and public organizations. Currently, the AGE is newsworthy due to the impending implementation of a 35-hour work week for its employees. Minister for Digital Transformation and Public Function, Óscar López, announced that the new work schedule will take effect in the first half of April 2026. This development follows an agreement with labor unions, including CCOO and CSIF, the latter ensuring broader collective inclusion. The reduction in working hours is a significant change impacting the working conditions of state employees and potentially influencing productivity and service delivery within the Administración del Estado. The implementation date is set, marking a key moment for public sector labor relations and government efficiency.
