Departament d'Empresa i Treball

The Departament d'Empresa i Treball is a department within the Catalan government (Generalitat) responsible for matters related to business, labor, and employment in Catalonia. It plays a key role in regulating labor relations, overseeing employment policies, and promoting economic activity within the region. Recently, the department has been in the news for two distinct reasons. First, it published the official labor calendar for 2027, outlining the public holidays for the region, allowing businesses and individuals to plan accordingly. Second, the department confirmed that the construction company Limak, responsible for the renovation of the Camp Nou stadium, has filed an Expediente de Regulación de Empleo (ERE), a collective dismissal procedure, affecting 399 workers. This highlights the department's role in overseeing significant employment changes and labor disputes within Catalonia's business sector.
