New Venezuelan Labor Law reduces working hours
Finally!
-----
Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez on Monday announced the shrinkage of working hours from 44 to 40 hours a week, upon the entry into force of the Labor Organic Law.
He specified that a maximum term of one year would be set so that companies can make the appropriate adjustments. Under a legally binding provision, employees will have two continued days of leave.
