FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A dismissal is unfair when the employer cannot prove the alleged grounds (disciplinary or objective), when formal requirements are not met (dismissal letter, notice in objective dismissals, settlement of dues), or when the reasons do not fit the legal grounds set out in the Workers' Statute. The deadline to challenge it is 20 working days from notification. BMC advises on classification before proceeding and manages out-of-court settlement negotiation when that is the optimal option.
An ERE (Expediente de Regulación de Empleo) permanently extinguishes employment contracts — it is a collective dismissal. An ERTE (Expediente de Regulación Temporal de Empleo) temporarily suspends contracts or reduces working hours without terminating the employment relationship. Both require a consultation period with employee representatives and notification to the Labour Authority, but the effects and compensation are very different.
The Labour Inspectorate may visit without prior notice. It has access to all employment documents: contracts, payslips, working time records, prevention files, corporate emails. The employer has the right to legal assistance from the outset. BMC represents the company during the inspection, manages the required documentation, and in the event of an infringement notice, drafts the statement of objections to minimise penalties.
No. Workers hired or posted to Spain are covered by the Workers' Statute and the applicable sectoral collective agreement, regardless of the employer's nationality. Foreign contract conditions only apply insofar as they improve on Spanish rules — never below the legal and collective minimums. BMC advises on adapting the contract to Spanish law and the Social Security implications.
