Employment in Spain
Employ in Spain without establishing a local entity
The EOR pricing model in Spain is typically based on a fixed monthly fee per employee. This fee generally includes payroll administration, employment contracts, onboarding, social security administration, tax withholding, HR support, and ongoing compliance management.
Compared to establishing a Spanish legal entity, an EOR significantly reduces setup costs and administrative complexity. Companies avoid incorporation expenses, payroll infrastructure investments, employment administration, and ongoing compliance obligations. This predictable pricing structure enables businesses to scale efficiently while maintaining compliance with Spanish employment regulations.
