Employment law in Spain is not contained under a single law. Instead it is governed by statutory regulations codified in (among other laws) the Spanish Civil Code and the Spanish Workers' Statute. The Spanish Workers' Statute regulates legal and regulatory of Spain, the will of parties intended in employment contracts, local and professional customs and practices as well as collective bargaining agreements.
Spanish employment law provides strong labor conditions and protections for employees, so employing people will generally be an important investment and commitment.
Spain, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time workers differently and there are risks associated with misclassification.

We can help you get a new employee started in Australia fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 14 working days.
Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.
For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.
Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Outstaffer has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.
Beyond providing your employees with all statutory benefits, Outstaffer can help you create a custom benefits package for your international team. A competitive benefits package may include perks such as:

All full-time workers are legally entitled to 23 days paid holiday leave a year. In addition, full-time workers have 14 paid public holidays a year.
Maternity leave is 16 weeks for Spanish employees. At least six uninterrupted weeks must be taken immediately following the birth. Four of these weeks can be taken leading up to the birth. During the maternity period, workers are not paid a salary but instead a maternity benefit. This contribution is paid directly from the Social Security Administration to the employee. Women have the right to one hour of absence from work each day to breastfeed an infant of less than nine months. The employee can also choose to accumulate these hours, and take off 15 consecutive natural days after the maternity leave instead.
Salaried employees in Australia are entitled to four weeks of paid annual leave each year. Shift workers receive an additional week of paid leave, for a total of five weeks per year.
In Spain, 16 weeks of paternity leave is also available. The first six weeks have to be taken immediately without interruption (starting on the day of birth of the child). The other 10 weeks must be taken before the child is one year old. This leave must be taken in batches of one week as a minimum, but the weeks can be split over time if desired. The employee receives 100% pay during this time (as long as payment does not exceed 4070.10 EUR). The father is also entitled to take unpaid childcare leave until the child is three years old.
Salaried employees in Australia are entitled to four weeks of paid annual leave each year. Shift workers receive an additional week of paid leave, for a total of five weeks per year.
Parents can take an additional breastfeeding leave after parental leave. This breastfeeding leave can be enjoyed in two ways:
The breastfeeding leave is considered as working time, meaning that the employee doesn't receive anything from Social Security and is paid by the company at 100%.
Spanish employers in general can provide any fair reasons for termination of an employee. Any dismissal from the end of the employer for an employee that has been employed longer than six months has to be "socially justified" by the following:
The statutory notice period for an employer depends on the reason for dismissal and the collective bargaining agreement the employment contract is subject to. For dismissals due to economic factors related to production, the organisation of work, the proper functioning of the business and structural, the company has to provide 15 days prior notice. Employees are generally required to provide 2-3 weeks of prior notice when resigning, depending on the collective bargaining agreements.
The establishment of a probationary period is not mandatory under Spanish labor legislation. The applicable CBA includes the maximum probationary periods to be agreed with the employees. It is feasible that for the same professional category, you agree different probationary periods with employees if there is justified reason (as a matter of example: experience, training, languages, etc.) and provided that you respect the probationary periods limits established in the CBA.
