Abstract
The COVID-19 outbreak has forced schools and day care centres to close their doors. In response, many parents are now juggling housework and paid work with a sudden increase in child care responsibilities. The Royal Decree Law 8/2020 have recognized a series of rights to favor the work-life balance of workers employed by third parties who accredit duties of care to dependent persons due to exceptional circumstances related to the prevention of the extension of COVID-19, specifically recognizing the right to agree to the adaptation of working hours and, subsidiarily, to be in a reduction of their working hours.
