Global Employment Solutions & PEO in Spain

Omnipresent provides global employment solutions and professional employment organisation (PEO) services for companies looking to grow and build out a global team in Spain.

Omnipresent’s global employment solutions and professional employer organization services are helping hundreds of organisations onboard new employees in Spain in a matter of days with full compliance of local labour laws. We use a tech-forward approach to streamline the process.

• Your company conducts the hiring and candidate selection process in Spain.
• Omnipresent hires the selected candidate through our local professional employment organisation in Spain.
• We take care of ensuring your new employee is hired in compliance with local labour laws, payroll regulations, benefits and more -- all without needing to set up a subsidiary in Spain.
• The individual is legally contracted by Omnipresent but assigned to work for your company and reports to a manager or team in your organisation as your full-time employee.

Employer costs include Common Contingencies, Social: Unemployment, and Mutual Accident Insurance. Use the OmniCalculator to estimate costs, or contact us for further information.

Income taxes

For income taxation in general, the taxation of a resident of Spain is generally determined using two brackets: a national set of income tax brackets, with rates ranging from 19 to 47%, for income in general that applies to all residents of Spain regardless of their specific location of residence in the country, and the one set of income tax brackets among numerous sets of jurisdictional income tax brackets that corresponds to their autonomous community or autonomous city of residence.

Employee Contributions

Employee Tax: 0.1% - 4.7%

An employee can work a maximum of 40 hours per week (9 hours maximum per day). It is not possible to contract out of these limits. Overtime is capped at 80 hours per year and this must be paid, at more than the usual pay rate. All employees must record their actual working hours daily and keep that log with the company.

Employees are entitled to partially paid sick leave (60 - 75%) for a maximum of 1 year, or in certain circumstances they may be eligible to apply for extended leave of up to 18 months. The employer makes the payments but will be reimbursed by Social Security Department.

Maternity leave includes 16 weeks, all of which are paid. Fathers are entitled to the same leave as mothers.

Employees under Omnipresent/our local partners receive 23 working days of annual leave. The minimum leave at law is actually 30 calendar days (approx. 22 working days).

Apart from gross misconduct, all other terminations require a minimum severance amount to be paid.

It is very difficult to legally terminate an employee other than for gross misconduct. 

A formal process must be followed, before a termination notice can be issued.
