Payroll frequency
In Spain, employees are typically paid on a monthly basis, with salaries disbursed at the end of each month, as specified in the employment contract or collective bargaining agreement. Spanish labor law mandates that remuneration must be paid at least once a month, ensuring regular income for employees.
In addition to regular monthly wages, employees may receive additional compensation such as the 13th- and 14th-month salaries, commonly paid in July and December. These payments are often stipulated in collective bargaining agreements or internal company policies and are disbursed according to the terms outlined therein. Employers are required to adhere to the agreed-upon schedules for these payments to maintain compliance with labor regulations.
