Employer of Record in Spain

Yes. Under an EOR arrangement Dhi ADT is the legal employer in Spain, holding the contract, running payroll and carrying the Seguridad Social and SEPE registrations. You direct the employee's day-to-day work.

Typical time to a live employee is 5–10 business days once we have the role, salary and start date.

A convenio colectivo is a sector or company-level collective agreement binding on every employer in scope. It sets salary tables, working time, leave and often notice and benefits.

It follows your activity rather than your choice. If the wrong convenio is applied, every payslip and every entitlement is calculated against the wrong rules — and the correction is retroactive, at your cost.

Employer social security is around 30.65% of the contribution base, which is capped at €5,101.20 per month. Above that base, the marginal employer cost drops sharply.

Remember Spain pays 14 times a year under most convenios — two pagas extraordinarias on top of twelve monthly salaries — so quote annual, not monthly.

It applies to qualifying inbound hires who move their tax residence to Spain. Eligible employees pay a flat 24% on Spanish-source employment income up to €600,000 a year for up to six years, instead of progressive rates.

The employee files Modelo 149 within six months of Social Security registration. We assess eligibility before the offer so the gross figure reflects the real net.

It depends entirely on classification. An objective dismissal is 20 days' salary per year of service capped at 12 months; an unfair dismissal is 33 days per year capped at 24 months.

Notice after probation is 15 calendar days. During probation, either party can terminate with no notice and no severance.

Only in the specific circumstances Spanish law still permits — production circumstances or substitution, with a documented justification. Temporary contracting has been sharply narrowed and misuse is penalised, so we default to indefinido unless the temporary ground is clear.
