Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key differences between using an Employer of Record service and setting up a local entity in Spain?
With an EOR, you avoid establishing your own local entity and its legal registration, tax registration, and bank accounts. The EOR is the legal employer, while you continue to manage employees and make HR decisions. With your own entity, your company assumes all legal, tax, and compliance responsibilities directly.
What level of control do I have over hiring, firing, and compensation?
You retain full control over hiring, firing, compensation, and employee management. SpainWork implements your decisions as the local HR and payroll provider.
Which legal, tax, and compliance responsibilities does SpainWork handle?
We handle local employment registration, tax filings, payroll taxes, compliant employment contracts, termination procedures, and ongoing HR compliance in Spain.
Does an EOR simplify expansion into several European countries?
An EOR can simplify international expansion by coordinating employment and compliance without requiring a separate subsidiary in every country.
Which ongoing HR services does SpainWork provide?
SpainWork provides payroll, benefits administration, time tracking, termination compliance, HR administration, worker classification support, employment contract management, and ongoing assistance.
What is included in the EUR 195 monthly fee?
The flat fee covers employment administration, payroll, tax filing, and Spanish labour-law compliance. Employees are not charged for the service.
Do you handle employee benefits and payroll?
Yes. We manage payroll, benefits, and taxes in accordance with Spanish regulations, including employee salary payments and payslips.
How do EOR costs compare with setting up a local entity?
An EOR charges a monthly fee per employee and any disclosed payroll transaction costs. Establishing an entity generally involves higher initial legal and registration costs plus ongoing HR administration.
How does payroll work with an EOR?
The EOR processes payroll, pays employees from its Spanish accounts, issues payslips, and invoices your company for payroll and the agreed service costs.
Does using SpainWork remove every employment-related legal risk?
No. SpainWork assumes the responsibilities of the legal employer, while the client remains responsible for directing the employee's work. Legal advice may still be required for particular decisions.
What requirements apply under the SpainWork direct model?
Your company must register as a non-resident employer in Spain, obtain a Spanish tax identification number, and comply with payroll tax filings and social security contributions.
Which Spanish labour rules apply under the direct model?
Your company must comply with Spanish rules for employment contracts, working hours, leave, termination notice, and other employment conditions. SpainWork advises and supports that compliance.
Why use SpainWork to hire employees in Spain?
Spanish employment and payroll requirements can be complex for an international company. We handle the local employment framework so your team can focus on operating the business.
What happens if an employment dispute arises?
We work closely with your company to address employment issues, comply with Spanish labour law, and facilitate an appropriate resolution.
Who can I hire with SpainWork?
We support hiring across industries, from administrative roles to specialised professional positions.
