Payroll and employment advice in Spain
We run your payroll and guide you through Spanish employment law: which contract to use, how to handle a dismissal and what to do if the labour inspectorate calls. In English.
Spanish employment law without surprises
Spanish employment rules are detailed and strict: each sector has its collective agreement, contracts must match the job, working hours have to be recorded and dismissals follow set procedures. A mistake can cost far more than getting advice first.
We handle your monthly payroll and social security, and we are there before you hire, change conditions or let someone go.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to record my employees’ working hours in Spain?
Yes, keeping a record of working hours is mandatory and is one of the first things checked in an inspection. We help you set up a simple system.
Which contract should I use for seasonal staff?
It depends on whether the need repeats every year or is one-off. We review your case before you hire.
Can you hire staff from outside the EU for my business?
Yes, together with our legal team, including the authorisations they need.
I run a small business with one employee. Can you do my payroll?
Yes. We work with businesses of every size, from a first employee to large teams.
