Royal Decrees 901/2020 and 902/2020, both dated 13 October and published in the Spanish State Gazette (“BOE”) on 14 October, are basically aimed at the regulatory implementation of the new provisions on equality plans, transparency and equal pay contained in Royal Decree Law 6/2019, dated 1 March, on urgent measures to ensure equal treatment and opportunities for women and men in employment and occupation. These two decrees complement each other.

The new regulations are a product of the agreement reached by the Ministry of Labour and Social Economy, the Ministry of Equality and the most representative national trade unions, “Comisiones Obreras” and “Unión General de Trabajadores”.
