Admission examinations (Article 108, Law no. 3/2014, of 28 January) consist of checking the physical and psychological fitness of workers in the recruitment process.

The entrance examination can also be carried out when one of the following situations arises:
Periodic Exam
Periodic examinations must be carried out every year for workers over 50 years of age. The rest only have to have them every 2 years.

Occasional examinations must be carried out whenever there is a substantial change in the material components of work that could have a negative effect on workers’ health, as well as in the event of absence from work due to illness or accident for more than 30 days.
