News with flexible retirement
Another novelty in terms of retirement, this time in its flexible modality, arrived on August 28. The entry into force of Royal Decree 416/2026, of May 27, established a series of modifications to make it a more attractive option for those who are already receiving their benefit for the cessation of their work activity. Specifically, it expanded the percentage of the day to which they could return, placing it between 33% and 80%and incorporates the possibility of self-employment.
This modality will allow the pensioner to continue collecting his pension while he rejoins the labor market and receives a salary for it. In addition, establish a series of incentives for those who decide to resume their activity 6 months after having retired. These incentives will be 25%, in case of having a working day of between 55% and 80%; or 15% when the working day is less than 55%.
However, as recalled by lawyer Raúl Gómez, collaborator in the program ‘It’s not hours’ on “Onda Cero”, the extra time paid during flexible retirement will not mean an improvement in the amount of the pension once you decide to stop working. Therefore, although the modifications improve conditions while work is being done, they mean a deterioration in the contribution system.
