Spain is one of the fastest-growing economies in the Eurozone, with tourism, agriculture, and renewable energies being the most prominent industries. Ibiza, Mallorca, Barcelona, and Málaga—the islands and cities along the Mediterranean coast are beloved destinations for all those seeking some fun in the sun. Every year, seasonal workers travel to the country’s southern coasts and islands to work in the countless hotels, bars, and restaurants that cater to the rush of tourists. The prominence of seasonal workers can present significant payroll challenges that employers should be aware of.In this episode of Payroll Around the World, we’re joined by ADP experts Marcela Uribe and Barbara Gomez. They’ll talk us through the ins and outs of processing payroll in Spain, including the rules around employing seasonal workers and how social security contributions affect payroll cycles.
