Dismissed or Unpaid? Understand Your Employment Rights in Spain

At LRJ Abogados–Solicitors, we understand that facing dismissal, unpaid wages, or workplace harassment can cause stress, uncertainty, and many questions. That’s why in this article we explain what rights protect you as an employee in Spain and how we can help you claim what you are legally entitled to.

🔍 When Is a Dismissal Unfair or Void?

A dismissal is considered unfair when there is no valid reason or the legal procedure has not been followed. It is void when it violates fundamental rights—such as in cases of dismissal during pregnancy, medical leave, or as retaliation.

➡️ Were you dismissed without notice or a clear explanation? We can help you claim your compensation or request reinstatement.

💶 Can You Claim Unpaid Wages, Overtime, or Holiday Pay?

Many workers are unaware that they can claim unpaid salaries, overtime, bonuses, extra payments under the collective agreement, or unused holidays. The time limit to file a claim is one year, so don’t delay!
