Question 1

Do we need a Spanish entity to hire employees in Spain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, to employ workers directly in Spain, you need either a Spanish company (SL or SA), a branch office, or you can use an Employer of Record (EOR) arrangement. We can help you set up a Spanish entity or advise on the best structure for your situation.

Question 2

Can you handle contractor payments in Spain?

Accepted Answer

We can advise on contractor arrangements and ensure proper classification. However, be aware that Spanish authorities scrutinize contractor relationships closely—misclassification can result in significant penalties. We recommend proper employment for ongoing roles.

Question 3

What about Ley Beckham employees?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in Beckham Law payroll. These employees have a flat 24% tax rate on Spanish income, but require specific payroll configuration and reporting. We handle all the complexities, including the dual reporting requirements.

Question 4

How do you handle terminations?

Accepted Answer

We calculate severance based on Spanish labor law, prepare all documentation, and ensure proper Social Security deregistration. We also advise on the process to minimize legal risk and can coordinate with labor lawyers if needed.

Question 5

What reports do we receive monthly?

Accepted Answer

You receive a comprehensive monthly package: individual payslips (in Spanish and English if needed), a cost summary for HQ, Social Security filing confirmations, and a tax withholding summary. All reports can be formatted to integrate with your group reporting.

Question 6

Can you integrate with our existing HR systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we work with most major HRIS platforms and can adapt our reporting to match your internal systems. We can receive data via secure file transfer, API integration, or simple spreadsheet templates.
