Made for your market ## Local details. Better decisions. Every hiring plan starts with the role and its location. Here’s what to discuss before employing someone in Spain. 01 ### Collective agreement and role classification Ask how this will be handled for your proposed role and who is responsible. Include the agreed scope in your hiring proposal. 02 ### Salary structure, pay schedule and benefits Ask how this will be handled for your proposed role and who is responsible. Include the agreed scope in your hiring proposal. 03 ### Working hours, leave and employment terms Ask how this will be handled for your proposed role and who is responsible. Include the agreed scope in your hiring proposal. Planning your hire ## What to budget and confirm in Spain For a Spanish hire, start with the role, workplace and applicable convenio colectivo. Then agree the annual salary and its payment schedule. The same annual package can produce different monthly payslips, so a monthly quote alone can obscure the comparison. [Hiring checks](#hiring-checks)[Salary example](#salary-example)[Employment options](#employment-options)[Onboarding](#onboarding-checklist)[Questions](#hiring-faq) ### Confirm the agreement and role classification Ask the proposed employer to identify the applicable collective agreement and explain how the role is classified. Request a written salary breakdown and the working-time provisions used for the offer. Check these against the actual duties rather than relying on a job title alone. ### Review the legal hiring structure An “EOR” label does not itself establish that a staffing arrangement is lawful. Spain’s Workers’ Statute restricts the supply of workers. Ask the provider to explain its employing model, any required authorisation and who exercises employer responsibilities for this specific arrangement. ### Keep exit obligations visible Before accepting a proposal, ask how a change in assignment or end of employment is assessed. Request separate explanations of service cancellation, employment procedure and final-pay items. Avoid budgeting from a single generic severance figure without the contract and circumstances. ### A worked salary-budget example Illustration: €42,000 gross annual salary. The first schedule assumes 14 equal instalments; the second assumes the applicable collective agreement permits extra payments to be prorated into 12. Illustrative gross salary calculation · EURAnnual gross salary · both illustrations | €42,000 | 14 equal payments · €42,000 ÷ 14 | €3,000 each | 12 prorated payments · €42,000 ÷ 12 | €3,500 each | Difference in annual salary | €0 | This compares salary payment schedules, not total employer cost. Extra-payment amounts and proration depend on the collective agreement; 14 equal payments are an assumption, not a universal requirement. Add applicable employer contributions, benefits and the service fee. Do not add two extra payments again when the quoted annual package already includes them.

Your team size, planned duration and local activities should guide the decision. A provider employment arrangementConfirm which entity employs the person, whether the proposed structure is appropriate locally, and the responsibilities covered by the service agreement. Request the full employment budget alongside the management fee. Employment through your own organisationCompare the registration, payroll, HR and ongoing administration required for your planned operations. Ask an adviser whether your existing organisation can employ locally or whether a local entity is needed. An independent contractorAssess the actual relationship before choosing this route. Ask for a classification review if the person will work under your direction in an ongoing role; a contractor label alone does not resolve that question. ### Prepare these details for the hiring proposal - Workplace, duties and proposed schedule, including any remote-work arrangement. - Applicable collective agreement and professional classification confirmed by the employer. - Annual gross salary, extra-payment treatment, benefits and payroll dates. - Provider instructions for identity, work authorisation and payroll registrations. - Signed employment terms, onboarding owner and the process for recording leave. Start with role and company details in your inquiry. The selected provider can request sensitive employee documents through its secure onboarding process. ### Questions about hiring in Spain **Does Spain require 14 identical salary payments?** The Workers’ Statute provides two extraordinary payments each year, with their amount set by the collective agreement. That agreement can allow proration into monthly pay. Fourteen identical instalments are therefore an illustrative schedule, not a rule for every employee. [BOE · Workers’ Statute, Articles 31 and 43](https://www.boe.es/buscar/act.php?id=BOE-A-2015-11430) **Are 30 days of annual holiday working days?** The statutory minimum is 30 calendar days. Do not compare that directly with a working-day allowance elsewhere without checking the schedule and agreement. Ask the employer to express the contractual entitlement clearly and explain how it is booked. [Spanish government · Working hours, leave and holidays](https://administracion.gob.es/pag_Home/en/Tu-espacio-europeo/derechos-obligaciones/ciudadanos/trabajo-jubilacion/condiciones-trabajo/jornada-permisos) **What should we verify before choosing an EOR arrangement?** Request the employing entity, the legal basis for the proposed model and how responsibilities are divided in practice. Article 43 restricts worker supply, so confirm the arrangement with the provider’s local employment specialist before proceeding.
