05 — Questions

What people ask us before they instruct us

20 working days from the date it takes effect. It is a strict cut-off: once that time has passed the dismissal can no longer be challenged. Call us the same day.

33 days' pay per year worked if the dismissal is unfair (45 days for time worked before 12 February 2012), subject to the statutory caps, and 20 days if it is a valid objective dismissal. We work out your exact figure at the first consultation.

You can sign it marked 'not in agreement'. Signing to acknowledge receipt does not mean accepting the dismissal, but do not sign the final settlement without having it checked.

Yes, going back up to a year from the date of the claim. That covers payslips, overtime, extra payments and, if the contract has ended, holiday not taken.

Yes for the most common claims, such as dismissal or unpaid wages, although there are exceptions, such as material changes to conditions, holiday or social security matters. Many cases are resolved there, without ever reaching a hearing.

More about employment law

Employment law in Spain

Employment law, also known as labour law, is the field of law setting out the principles and rules that govern human work. At Escalera & Tuset we take on the job of defending them for you.

Employment law therefore covers every kind of question relating to work: regulations, types of employment contract and the basic rights of employees when it comes to safety at work, holiday, working hours, pay or the powers an employer has over the employee. These employees' rights belong to anyone working in Spain under national legislation. Have any of those rights been breached? Do you need advice and an effective defence? We can help.

Escalera & Tuset has a department specialising in employment law, made up of some of the best employment lawyers in the country: professionals with a great deal of experience behind them and a deep knowledge of the regulations, rules and statutes that govern working relationships in Spain. Do not put your rights in just anyone's hands. Trust a team with a proven record in employment law. We commit to giving you the best qualified service in Madrid.

We defend employees' rights

Spanish legislation defines working relationships, working conditions and the procedures for ending employment contracts in unambiguous terms. You should know that you have rights that nobody can breach without consequences. With that in mind, and if you need it, we give you an employment consultation so that you have all the information you need. More specifically, our specialists in employees' rights will listen carefully and advise you on the best solutions available.

Have you been dismissed? Does a company owe you several months' pay? Are you facing abuse or unfairness at work? Come to us. We are expert professionals, but above all we are a team of people. We take on our clients' worries and needs as if they were our own. And, of course, we work hard to get them the justice they deserve. Whatever your case, we will work to get the best possible result. That is our guiding principle.

How do we manage it? By combining several things that are essential to work in employment law. First, a tailored approach to client care, because in the end every client is different. Second, a thorough knowledge of the field. And third, a real capacity for creativity in coming up with alternative solutions. If there is a way through, we will find it. We do not stop until we do.

At Escalera & Tuset what we defend, above all, is the law. That is why we also offer employment law services for companies.

We put all our experience and all our skill at the service of any company that needs advice on employment matters. A wage claim? A resignation? If there is one law firm that can help you, it is Escalera & Tuset. Trust us. You will come back to us the next time you need us.

We know that because hundreds of clients already do. For those who have worked with us and had everything they needed dealt with precisely and quickly, the idea of an employment lawyer in Madrid is tied for good to our logo and our name. That is what we set out to do from the start: to turn Escalera & Tuset into an instrument of justice in working relationships. Today we can confirm that we have managed it.
