Frequently asked questions
What people ask us most about employment law
How long do I have to challenge a dismissal?
20 working days from the date of dismissal (not counting Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays). It's a very short deadline and it can't be extended: it's best to get advice as soon as possible.
Do I have to sign the final settlement (finiquito)?
Signing shows that you have received it, but you can write “no conforme” (not in agreement) next to your signature if you don't agree with the amounts. If in doubt, check it with us first.
Does making a claim mean taking my employer to court?
Not necessarily. Before any trial there is a conciliation hearing, and many cases are resolved through negotiation or conciliation. We explain each option so that you can decide what you want to achieve.
Can I make a claim if I still work for the company?
Yes. You can claim money or conditions without leaving your job, and the law protects you against retaliation for exercising your rights.
How long do I have to claim wages I am owed?
As a general rule, one year from when you should have been paid them.
Can I be dismissed while I'm on sick leave?
Being on sick leave does not in itself prevent a dismissal, but if you are dismissed because of your health, it may be considered discriminatory. We review each case.
General guidance only. Employment deadlines are short: talk to us as soon as possible.
