Employer of Record FAQs in Spain
What is an Employer of Record in Spain?
An Employer of Record (EOR) in Spain is a third-party organization that becomes the legal employer of your Spanish workers. The EOR handles all employment administration including contracts, payroll, taxes, social security contributions, and compliance with Spanish labor laws, while you maintain control over the employee’s daily work and responsibilities.
Do I need to establish a legal entity in Spain to hire employees?
No. Using an Employer of Record allows you to hire employees in Spain without setting up a Spanish subsidiary, branch office, or legal entity. Asanify acts as the legal employer, enabling you to expand quickly and compliantly without the costs and delays of entity incorporation.
How quickly can I hire employees in Spain through Asanify?
With Asanify’s EOR service, you can typically onboard employees in Spain within 3-5 business days after candidate selection. This includes preparing compliant employment contracts, completing registration formalities, and setting up payroll—significantly faster than establishing your own entity.
What are the employer costs in Spain beyond salary?
Spanish employers pay social security contributions of approximately 29.9% of gross salary, covering pension, healthcare, unemployment, and other benefits. Additional costs include mandatory bonuses (two extra monthly payments annually), paid leave, and potential contributions to collective bargaining agreements. Asanify manages all these obligations transparently.
What employee benefits are mandatory in Spain?
Spanish employees are entitled to 30 days of paid annual leave, 14 public holidays, social security coverage (healthcare, pension, unemployment), maternity/paternity leave, two extra salary payments per year (pagas extraordinarias), and protections under collective bargaining agreements. Asanify ensures all mandatory benefits are provided correctly.
How does payroll work in Spain?
Spanish payroll runs monthly, with salaries typically paid at the end of each month. Employers must withhold IRPF income tax and employee social security contributions, then remit these along with employer contributions to Spanish authorities. Asanify handles all calculations, withholdings, payments, and reporting requirements.
What types of employment contracts are used in Spain?
Spain uses permanent (indefinido) and fixed-term (temporal) contracts. Permanent contracts are the default and offer strong job security. Fixed-term contracts are permitted only for specific circumstances like temporary work increases or project-based work, and have strict duration limits. Asanify ensures the appropriate contract type is used compliantly.
What are the termination and severance requirements in Spain?
Spanish labor law provides strong employee protections. Terminations require just cause or objective grounds, with specific procedures depending on the reason. Severance payments vary: 20 days per year worked for objective dismissals, and potentially higher for unfair dismissals. Notice periods typically range from 15 days to one month. Asanify manages compliant termination processes.
Will using an EOR create permanent establishment risk in Spain?
When structured properly, using an Employer of Record significantly reduces permanent establishment (PE) risk. Asanify serves as the legal employer and handles all employment obligations, minimizing your company’s direct presence. However, PE risk depends on your overall business activities in Spain. We recommend consulting tax advisors for your specific situation.
