Claim of Wages, Overtime, and Final Settlements

Your salary is sacred. If your company does not pay your payroll, owes you overtime, bonuses, or has not paid your final settlement correctly, at C&Co. Legal we act forcefully. We are employment lawyers experts in money claims in Madrid, ensuring you recover down to the last cent of what belongs to you, with the 10% legal surcharge for delay.

We recover all your unpaid money

1. Claim for Unpaid Payroll and Arrears

We initiate the SMAC and judicial process to claim unpaid wages of the current and past months, including wage differences if you are being paid less than what the Collective Bargaining Agreement dictates.

2. Claim for Overtime and Excessive Working Hours

We calculate and claim all overtime worked and not paid or compensated. We use legislation on workday registration in your favor to force payment.

3. Claim for Final Settlement (Finiquito) and Severance

We audit your final settlement proposal after ending the contract. We claim untaken vacation, proportional part of extra pays, and any pending amount for liquidation.

Do they owe you money?

Do not work for free. The deadline to claim payroll, overtime, or final settlements is only one year. We act to recover all your money with 10% interest.

Legal questions about wage claims.

Technical answers regarding claim deadlines (one year), overtime, poorly calculated final settlements, 10% delay interest, and the SMAC and judicial process in Madrid.

The deadline to claim any unpaid wage amount (payroll, overtime, bonuses, etc.) is ONE YEAR from the date they should have been paid. If you do not claim within this year, the debt prescribes and you will lose the right to collect that money. It is vital to act before the year passes.

Yes, you can claim it. The company has the obligation to keep a daily workday record. If it does not have it or it is false, the law presumes that the hours you allege are true, unless the company proves otherwise. Messages, emails, witnesses, or your own schedule can serve as additional proof.

The Workers' Statute establishes that the non-payment of wages generates a delay interest of 10% annually on the owed amount. Our claim always includes this additional 10% as a penalty for the company and compensation for you for the delay.

Emphatically NO. Stopping going to work without a judicial sentence terminating the contract is considered voluntary resignation and you will lose the right to severance and unemployment benefits. The correct thing is to continue working while we judicially claim the amounts and even request the termination of the contract for non-payment.
