Canary Islands Government Updates Public Sector Clothing Policies

Key Agreement Authorization

The Canary Islands government has officially authorized a key agreement that updates the clothing policies for public sector workers. Following a negotiation that began in May 2023, officials approved modifications to the approved work attire, ensuring better alignment with job roles and safety standards.

Decision and Implementation

This decision, made during a session in July 2025, confirms that public employees will receive updated work clothing before the end of June each year. The changes are part of a broader effort to improve working conditions and protect employees, including provisions for pregnant workers.

Financial and Budget Considerations

The regulation also emphasizes that any financial impact resulting from these clothing updates must be covered within the existing budgets of each government department. This measure aligns with recent budget laws, which require government approval for personal and personnel-related agreements to prevent unexpected public spending increases.

Modernization and Transparency

This update reflects ongoing efforts to modernize working conditions for public employees across the Canary Islands, ensuring they have the proper attire and protective gear needed for their roles. It also demonstrates the government’s commitment to transparency, as all agreements will be formally registered and published in the Official Bulletin of the Canary Islands.
