Business leader attacks 'Generous' unemployment benefits

Business leader attacks 'Generous' unemployment benefits

Recent Spanish Labour Reforms include measures to withdraw all benefit payments when an unemployed person has rejected an offer of employment for a third time.

Whilst this has been criticised for meaning that in the current market it will result in many jobseekers being forced into accepting jobs which they are over qualified and underapaid for, the CEOE employers association has suggested that this measure is too lenient, and that such measures would be unthinkable in many other European Countries.

José Luis Feito, the President of the CEOE Spanish Confederation of Business Organisation, has suggested that payment of such benefits should cease after the very first rejection of employment.

Fieto went on to describe the current benefits system in Spain as being 'very generous', with those unemployed finding themselves on a higher benefit payment to start off with, with payments lasting two years, or until they found work inside that time scale.
